"What I Saw in Kaffir-Land" by Sir Stephen Lakeman is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the author's experiences and observations during his military service in the Cape Colony, particularly against the Kaffir tribes during conflicts that arose in that period. The narrative is presented as a personal reflection, focusing on Lakeman's interactions with various military figures and the challenges of warfare, as well as his impressions of the landscape and the people involved in these tumultuous events. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for the author's journey, beginning with his time in Algeria, where he advocates for the superiority of the Minie rifle. Lakeman faces bureaucratic hurdles while seeking to enlist volunteers for military service in the ongoing war at the Cape. His desire to prove the effectiveness of his weapon leads him to arrange for rifles and men, eventually setting sail on the ship Harbinger. Throughout the first chapters, Lakeman introduces key military figures and describes his initial adventures, including encounters at sea and his arrival in Africa, establishing a vivid sense of the historical context and the intentions behind his expedition.
