Publisher's Synopsis
The Story Of My Captivity: During The Transvaal War 1899-1900 is a memoir written by Adrian Hofmeyr, originally published in 1900. The book recounts the author's experiences as a prisoner of war during the Second Boer War, which took place in South Africa between 1899 and 1902. Hofmeyr, a Boer farmer, was captured by British forces in 1900 and held in various prison camps for several months. In the book, Hofmeyr describes the conditions of his captivity, including the harsh treatment and poor living conditions he and other prisoners endured. He also writes about his interactions with his captors and fellow prisoners, and reflects on the political and social tensions that led to the war. The Story Of My Captivity provides a firsthand account of a significant moment in South African history, and sheds light on the experiences of Boer prisoners during the conflict. The book is an important historical document that offers insight into the complex and often brutal nature of war and its impact on individuals and communities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
