Summary "With Roberts to Pretoria: A Tale of The South African War" by G. A. Henty is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Yorke Harberton, a young man caught in the turbulent backdrop of the South African War, as he navigates personal and societal changes following a disastrous banking failure that affects his family's fortune. The novel explores themes of courage, self-reliance, and the impacts of war on young lives, with Yorke's journey likely unfolding in a setting ripe with historical significance. The opening of the narrative introduces Yorke and his family grappling with the financial fallout from the collapse of a bank, which has significant implications for their lifestyle and expectations. As the family adjusts to their reduced circumstances, Yorke contemplates his future options, expressing a desire to escape the confines of a conventional life. When the conversation shifts to Yorke's potential emigration to South Africa, he is inspired by thoughts of adventure and opportunity. Following his arrival in South Africa, Yorke faces cultural tensions between Dutch farmers and English settlers, culminating in a confrontation that sets the stage for deeper conflicts and personal growth as the political climate becomes increasingly charged leading up to the war.
