E-text prepared by Marilynda Fraser-Cunliffe, Taavi Kalju, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Three Years' War" by Christiaan Rudolf De Wet is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative focuses on the experiences of the author during the Second Boer War (1899-1902), detailing the struggle of the Boer people against British colonial forces. De Wet, a military leader and key figure in the conflict, shares his personal insights and recollections, aiming to shed light on a relatively unknown chapter of history. The opening of the narrative introduces the context of the war, beginning in September 1899, when De Wet is called to arms as a private burgher in the Orange Free State due to the Commando Law. He describes the preparations for war, the camaraderie among burghers, and the logistics of camp life, including provisions and the challenges faced by the Boer soldiers. De Wet emphasizes his responsibility to document these truths for future generations, setting the stage for his detailed accounts of battles, the strategies employed, and the personal and communal experiences of those involved in the fight for their independence.
