Summary: "The Peace Negotiations between the Governments of the South African Republic and the Orange Free State" by Rev. J. D. Kestell and D. E. Van Velden is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work provides an official record of the peace negotiations that culminated in the Treaty of Vereeniging, which marked the end of the Boer War in 1902. The book intricately details the proceedings, discussions, and documents involved in the efforts to establish peace amidst significant turmoil and suffering during the war, allowing readers to grasp the seriousness of the negotiations and the weight of the decisions made. The opening of the text reveals the context of the negotiations, starting with correspondence from military leaders, including Lord Kitchener, and the South African Republic's Acting State President, Schalk Burger. It highlights the challenges faced in communicating between the various Boer leaders and the British government while emphasizing the humanitarian perspectives that prompted the desire for peace. The preliminary exchanges indicate the complexities and stakes involved in reconciling national pride and the desperate need for peace, setting the stage for further discussions and developments in the chapters that follow. The book clearly positions itself as a vital document for understanding the profound implications of the Boer War and the sacrifices made during this pivotal moment in South African history.
