David Hilton Barber traces the ancestry of his and other Pioneering South African families. Going back five generations, this highly entertaining, factual and interesting book is full of snippets of life at the turn of the last century. (the Saint) Frederick York St Leger was a classical scholar first, a clergyman second and the founder and first editor of the Cape Times. He was ordained in 1857 and for 14 years was an Anglican priest in the Eastern Cape (he was the second headmaster of St Andrews School). In 1871, at the age of 38, in an extraordinary change of course, he resigned his living with the church and took his family to the newly-opened diamond fields in Kimberley. In 1876 he returned to Cape Town to found the first daily newspaper in South Africa which grew steadily in stature and influence to become the leading paper in South Africa by the early 1990s. (the Surgeon) Dr William Guybon Atherstone made a profound contribution to medical science, geology and natural history placing him firmly in the forefront of South African pioneers. He performed the first operation in South Africa under anaesthetics. He identified the first diamond discovered near Kimberley. He co-discovered the first dinosaur fossil in South Africa. He was given the Freedom of London. In Grahamstown, he was the originator of the Botanical Gardens and the founder of the Scientific and Literary Society, later the Albany Museum. He was also an artist, a musician and an astronomer of no mean repute. (the Unsung Botanist) Mary Elizabeth Barber Although having no formal education, yet through her observation and knowledge of natural history, she developed a lifelong correspondence with Charles Darwin whom she supplied with much valuable information for the Origin of Species (1859). Eight of her numerous monographs on South African botantical, entomological and zoological subjects were published by the Linnaean and other learned societies in Europe. As an artist of no mean attainments, Mary Elizabeth greatly enhanced the value and effect of her scientific observations with drawings and painting of professional standards - birds, reptiles, plants and moths and butterflies.

Private Robert Hart, just 18, in the green-and-black kilt of the Argyllshire Highlanders, gazed in awe at the wild skyline of fantastic mountains in the Cape spring of 1795. This was at the end of a four—month voyage of conﬁnement, scurvy, and general misery in a troopship. Hart did not guess that this would become his home and he himself the ﬁrst of all English-speaking South Africans. Had he kept a diary, it could have been taken as a text book to the history of the Colony — from the arrival of the British troops at the ﬁrst taking of the Cape, through the uprising in Graaif-Reinet, the arrival of the 1820 Settlers and the ensuing turbulent frontier wars — until his death in 1865. He served as adjutant of the Cape Regiment, he chose the site where Grahamstown now stands, he took Thomas Pringle on a memorable journey through the lichen-hung forests of the frontier, he managed the Somerset farm on the slopes of the Boschberg to supply produce to the British troops engaged in the hostilities and when this became Somerset East, he developed his own farm, the ﬁrst ﬁne wool grower in the Eastern Province. He was a close friend of Piet Retief and lived to see Port Elizabeth become, with Grahamstown, the trading base of the Free State and Transvaal Voortrekkers. Hart was a sincerely religious man who always had the welfare of the Presbyterian Church in mind. He was host to visiting missionaries who toured the country on horseback and would ask them to hold services in his house or garden which his Hottentot labourers and domestic servants could attend.
