161 pages. Bibliography. Index. "Lane, a born Ulsterman, a burgher of the South African Republic but still loyal to the British cause, a storekeeper in the hamlet of Hartbeesfontein in the Western Transvaal, faced dire penalties if he did not go to war with his commando. Refusing to bear arms against his mother country, he was placed in charge of the ammunition in the main laager of General Piet Cronje, Deputy Commandant General of the Republic. Not only was he opposed to Kruger and Krugerism but he was incensed at being commandeered. He criticizes much of what he sees and hears about Cronje. This viewpoint makes the work unique and unmatched by any other diarist in the camps of the Boers." - from dust jacket. Prior owner's ink stamp atop front free endpaper, otherwise clean, bright and unmarked with negligible wear. Appears unread. Dust jacket now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart.
