This is a diary of Sir Henry Rider Haggard's tour of South Africa
in 1914. It captures his feelings and perceptions on the change of
Southern Africa, and of himself, since his departure in 1881. In
1914, Sir Henry Rider Haggard, returned to South Africa. He had
left in 1881, in his mid-twenties, an unknown, he returned a
houshold name, after the success of his novels, such as "King
Solomon's Mines" and "She". Touring the country as a member of the
Dominions Royal Commission, Haggard found it hard to recognise the
South Africa of his youth; war and politics had left their mark.
Haggard had also changed, he considered himself a "man of affairs"
rather than as a novelist. This account of his journey through
Southern Africa shows his feelings and views on the changes he
encountered and shows his thoughts on the plight of the Zulus and
his meeting with John Dube, the first president of the African
National Congress.
