Rhodesia: Past and Present is a historical book written by Stefanns Jacobus du Toit and published in 1897. The book covers the history of Rhodesia, a former British colony in southern Africa, from the pre-colonial era to the late 19th century. The book begins with an overview of the geography, climate, and natural resources of the region, followed by a discussion of the indigenous peoples who inhabited the area before the arrival of European settlers. Du Toit then describes the arrival of the first Europeans in Rhodesia, including explorers, missionaries, and traders, and their interactions with the local populations. The second half of the book focuses on the establishment of Rhodesia as a British colony and the subsequent development of the region. Du Toit discusses the growth of the mining industry, the establishment of towns and cities, and the construction of transportation infrastructure. The book also covers the political and social changes that occurred during this period, including the introduction of colonial administration and the impact of immigration on the local population. Overall, Rhodesia: Past and Present provides a comprehensive overview of the history of Rhodesia, from its earliest days to the late 19th century. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of southern Africa, colonialism, or the development of modern nations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
