Translated from the Afrikaans.
"At the need of the eighteenth century, a giant strides the Cape Colony frontier. Coenraad de Buys is a legend, a polygamist, a swindler and a big talker; a revel who fights with Xhosa chieftains against the Boers and British; the fierce patriarch of a sprawling mixed-race family and a veritable tribe of followers; a savage enemy and a loyal ally." - Book cover
