A German Traveller in Natal

A German Traveller in Natal by Gustav Fritsch is a translated excerpt from his larger work ""Drei Jahre in Sud-Afrika"", published in 1868. It deals with the journey through Natal which formed part of his southern African travels between 1863 and 1866. A short introduction provides the historical context and details Fritsch's life and scientific career. The work has never before been translated and its rarity has made it difficult to access. Now a wider audience may enjoy this candidly offered, European perspective on a young and vigorous colony.
