"This remarkable diary covering the Siege of Kimberley and its aftermath was written by the German missionary, Carl Meyer. It is an important addition to the literature dealing with this historical event as it presents a unique insight into the effect of the war on social conditions of the time. Meyer, a politically neutral person, committed himself tirelessly not only to the welfare of his flock, but also to the fair treatment of all parties involved in the war, regardless of race or political affiliation. The reader is drawn into the everyday problems besetting the dedicated and selfless pastor, a man who never spared himself and in consequence passed away the day before the armstice of the South African Anglo-Boer War. It is a human interest story which will be enjoyed by the layman as well as the academic. The manuscript of the diary was sent to Germany in 1900 in the mailboat, Mexican, which was sunk. Fortunately the diary was salvaged from the mailbag in a poor but legible condition. Very few of the original printed copies have survived; one of these was donated to the Kimberley Africana Library by the council chairman of the German Lutheran Church in 1998". Size: Octavo.
