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.

pp. xxi, 341. Autograph ownership (1931) of Waynesboro, PA financier, industrialist, and press book collector, Jefford F. Oller (1896-1974). On the rear flyleaves is a brief pencil index of the book written by Oller. The unusual half mahogany leather over marbled boards binding was probably commissioned by Oller. With its raised bands spine gilt tooled in a simple semi-art deco style and picturing twin towers of inlaid green leather, the binding is quietly impressive. John Eric Langdon-Davies (1897-1971) was a British author and journalist, born in Zululand, South Africa. He did not serve in World War One, but later became a war correspondent during the Spanish Civil War and the Russo-Finnish war. He was a widely read author and popular lecturer on history, science, and sociology. As a result of his experiences in Spain, he founded the Foster Parents' Scheme for refugee children in Spain, now called Plan International. The flavor of this work is indicated by a brief view of its contents: The Universe Makes Man; The Medieval Picture of the Universe; The First Renaissance; Newton; Dalton's Dust; Darwin and Evolution; The New Renaissance.

br. Willie è solo un ragazzo, ma è già costretto a lasciarsi tutto alle spalle per sfuggire al proprietario terriero che ha assassinato suo padre. Incontrare Loving gli salva, letteralmente, la vita. L'uomo lo inizia alle sottili arti dello sparare, del cavalcare, del leggere e del giardinaggio. Quando muore, Willie eredita da lui il suo nuovo nome: Nat Love. Soldato e pistolero, Nat sembra destinato alla gloria. Ha tutto quello che un uomo del West può desiderare, compresa la donna dei suoi sogni e il rispetto di leggende come Wild Bill Hickok. Ma il passato torna a tormentarlo. E, soprattutto, Nat è nero, in un periodo in cui agli afroamericani non viene perdonato nulla. Privato della casa, dell'amore e di tutto ciò che aveva conquistato, a Nat Love non resta che mettersi sulle tracce dei suoi persecutori, pronto all'ultimo, mortale duello.
