(Henry Morton) Rowlands, John Through South Africa His Visit to Rhodesia, the Transvaal, Cape Colony, Natal Illustrated with photographs. Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England "Through South Africa" by Henry M. Stanley is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book consists of letters penned by Stanley during his travels through South Africa, conveying his personal impressions and observations rather than focusing on established historical, geographical, or political discussions. Stanley's fresh perspective as a traveler with significant experience in Africa aims to contribute to a broader understanding of the region's development and the nuances of its sociopolitical landscape. The opening of the book features Stanley's preface, where he discusses the motivations behind his journey to South Africa and the letters he composed for the journal "South Africa". He describes his voyage on the steamship "Norman" and introduces the diverse range of passengers, which included British, Boer, and Afrikander individuals, as well as discussions about differing political views towards England and colonial governance. The narrative reveals Stanley's keen interest in the treatment of natives, the friction between British and Boer cultures, and his observations of various towns, including Bulawayo. The text sets a tone of inquiry and openness towards understanding South Africa’s evolving character during a time of contention and development.
