The book comprises of the following 16 chapters: - Grahamstown: "The City of the Settlers" - First discovery and early history of the Cape etc. Appendix A contains a list of the settler names, ages etc, Appendix B comprises of a poem "The Landing of the Settlers" by A Wilmot, in commemoration of the Settler's Jubilee in 1870 A series of great drawings/illustrations are included as well. Further info is available on the http://www.cdbooks-r-us.com website. Price (including postage) is R130 (Aus$22, =A313, Euro 16, US$22). Saul Issroff I don't have any commercial interest in this.
