Summary "A Veldt Official: A Novel of Circumstance" by Bertram Mitford is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story follows Roden Musgrave, a reserved man starting anew in Doppersdorp, a remote township in South Africa, as he begins his role as the clerk to the Resident Magistrate. Musgrave navigates the challenges of settling into his position while encountering colorful characters, some of whom are intrigued by his past and others who resent him for his aloofness. The opening of the novel introduces Musgrave aboard a ship making its approach to Port Elizabeth. Confused about his new post, he seeks information about Doppersdorp, only to find that almost no one knows where it is. Upon disembarking, he experiences the discomforts of post-cart travel, including navigating treacherous river conditions with fellow passengers, including a frightened woman. Their river crossing sets the stage for Musgrave's character: cautious yet capable, while also revealing the challenging landscape and social dynamics he must adapt to in his new role as an official in a place that seems both distant and poorly understood.
