Summary "'Tween Snow and Fire: A Tale of the Last Kafir War" by Bertram Mitford is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book likely revolves around the tensions between European settlers and the indigenous Kafir tribes in South Africa, focusing on the conflicts arising from hunting rights and land disputes. The story features characters such as Tom Carhayes, a settler determined to protect his land and game from poachers, and conflicts that arise with the Kafir hunter Goniwe and his companions. The opening of the novel introduces a thrilling scene where Tom Carhayes witnesses a Kafir pursuing a buck with his dogs, leading to an athletic chase across the veldt. Carhayes's frustration mounts as he recognizes the Kafirs’ poaching activities on his property, sparking a fierce desire to intervene. When he confronts the Kafirs, tensions escalate, resulting in a physical confrontation after Carhayes shoots one of the dogs. This conflict hints at larger themes of colonial aggression, cultural friction, and foreshadows the impending war, setting the stage for high-stakes drama and exploration of human nature in extreme circumstances.
