Book Description

Treaty entered into between Andries Stockenstrom, Esquire, Lieutenant-Governor of the Eastern division of the Colony of the Cape of Good Hope, on the part of His Britannic Majesty, and the Caffer Chiefs of the tribe of Congo. Sir Andries Stockenström, 1st Baronet, (6 July 1792 in Cape Town – 16 March 1864 in London), was lieutenant governor of British Kaffraria from 13 September 1836 to 9 August 1838. As a historical figure, he long remained controversial in South Africa for supposedly hindering colonisation, and pro-imperialist histories have traditionally vilified him.
