_WILSON'S LAST FIGHT_
'They were men whose fathers were men'
TO make it clear how Major Wilson and his companions came to die on the

settlers in Mashonaland in South Africa and the Matabele tribe, an
offshoot of the Zulu race.
In October 1889, at the instance of Mr. Cecil Rhodes and others
interested, the Chartered Company of British South Africa was
incorporated, with the sanction of Her Majesty's Government.
