This highly interesting book is a narrative of the episodes of the
Boer war by a correspondent with the Boer army. Mr. Hillegas was
present at many of the most exciting and most dramatic episodes of
the war. He was with the force which attempted to relieve Cronje at
Paardeberg, was present during a considerable part of the siege of
Ladysmith, at the battle of Colenso, at the surprise of Sanna's Post.
His book, written with dramatic vigour, is a spirited description
of the Boer methods, of their military strength, and contains vivid
character sketches of most of the Boer leaders with whom Mr. Hillegas
was on terms of fairly intimate friendship. This book, though written
by one who sympathises with the Boers, is permeated by a spirit of
chivalry, and it contains little that can offend the most sensitive
of Englishmen. It throws a flood of light on many of the episodes
which have been mysterious, and explains the secrets of the many
successes which the Boers have won.
