Description: Ten Years in South Africa: Only Complete and Authentic History of the British German Legion in South Africa and the East Indies William Westphal 1892, B. S. Wasson, Chicago With 9 wood-engraved plates including the frontispiece portrait; folding copper-engraved map of Southern Africa. 7x4½, original gilt-lettered cloth. First Edition. Scarce, privately printed account relating the author's experiences with the German Legion during the time of the Crimean War, when South Africa was a British possession and there was a general uprising of the natives in the South African provinces. During his years of military service, Westphal kept a day-book and recorded what he saw, learned and experienced, and it was only many years later that he envisioned making it into a book. He offers a fresh, interesting and presumably factual historical account of the colonization of South Africa during that vital time period. His writings also shed light on the conditions of the native tribes of South Africa. 173 pages, illustrated, Scarce first edition. Buyer to pay $4 shipping.
