Take a wonderful journey back in time with Roger as he investigates historical maps and the mapmakers that have inspired this rich and unusual collection of beautifully illustrated essays: The author’s research has revealed stories of discovery, development, disease, dispute, dispossession, forgotten places, passes and people. Together, the essays are a kaleidoscopic view of the social history of the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Colony (1500-1900).
