President Steyn. A biography (1969)

Meintjes, Johannes

Description:

This copy was extensively corrected by the previous owner, Andre Bezuidenhout, who was an expert on the history of the Free State during the republican period. Pages annotated in pencil can easily be cleaned up, but there is also many comments in pen. However, although the copy is being sold as a reference or reading copy, it may well be useful to another historian of the Free State.
