Description
""John Ames, Native Commissioner: A Romance Of The Matabele Rising"" is a historical novel written by Bertram Mitford and published in 1900. The story is set in Southern Rhodesia during the Matabele Rising of 1896, which was a rebellion against the British South Africa Company's rule. The main character, John Ames, is a British native commissioner who is tasked with maintaining peace between the British settlers and the native population. He is also in love with a young woman named Ethel Maitland, who is the daughter of a wealthy settler. As the Matabele rebellion intensifies, Ames finds himself torn between his loyalty to the British Empire and his sympathy for the native people. He must navigate political intrigue, military strategy, and personal relationships in order to survive and protect those he cares about. The novel explores themes of colonialism, race relations, and the complexities of love and loyalty. It is an exciting and engaging historical adventure that offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in African history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
