From Capetown to Ladysmith;: An unfinished record of the South African war by G. W Steevens

From Capetown to Ladysmith;: An unfinished record of the South African war by G. W Steevens. This is the Journal of a British reporter reporting on the Boer war. It's very short. The reprint I have from the 1960s sadly does not contain any scholarly apparatus or introduction. The author died of cholera during the siege of Ladysmith. Final chapter contains an obituary and some remembrances. The tone of the work changes from rather lighthearted to cynical particularly about the siege. As a primary source there isn't much here perhaps useful for some color.

Not recommended.
