This is an abbreviated version of Tracks in a Mountain Range, and
is published in dual format in English and isiZulu. The uKhahlamba
mountains have been the home of many different groups of people for
a very long time. Small groups of hunter-gatherers began living in
rock shelters there at least 27 000 years ago. Their descendants
were San people who still lived there as recently as a hundred
years ago. About 600 years ago, groups of African farmers began
building their villages near the foothills, and grazing their
cattle into the mountains. From the 1840s, European settlers in the
colony of Natal began laying out farms for sheep and cattle in the
foothills of the mountains. They drove out the San, and brought the
African farmers under their domination. In the twentieth century
the settlers and their descendants began to use the land for
purposes besides farming, especially for developing tourism and
leisure activities, and supplying water for industry. Africans
became labourers on the farms and in South Africa's towns and
cities. Exploring the History of the uKhahlamba Mountains tells
about the coming of these different peoples to the mountains, and
describes the different ways of life that they established,
sometimes peacefully, sometimes violently. It is copiously
illustrated with photographs in full colour.
