Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the War in South Africa: 1899-1900 Vasco da Gama, following him in 1497, gave to it its present auspicious title, which was to him of sound augury; for he then passed on to explore the East coast and to find the long-desired Indies.

It has been stated by some kindly critic that the subject of this little book was a valuable history of South Africa, while another has suggested my calling it The History of the Boer. Nothing has been farther from my thought than the writing of any history. In a far different manner I Should have equipped myself had it been my intention to do so. Dr. Ea in his has collected as carefully and dealt as ably with the mere historical inci dents of the last two hundred years as it is possible for any one person, in the course of one life, and from one point of view, to do.
