Raiders and Rebels in South Africa-Rhodesiana Reprint Library-Silver Series- Volume Nine. Facsimile reproduction of the 1898 edition with a new Foreward and Index.

Two of the most dramatic events in southern Africa in the middle 1890's were the Jameson Raid at the end of December 1895, and the outbreak of the Matabele and Mashona Rebellions in 1896. It was given to few people to be associated in a civilian capacity with both crises, but one such person was Elsa Goodwin Green. As a trained nurse she comforted those of Dr. Jameson's young Raiders who found themselves in Krugersdorp hospital after the debacle of Doornkop, and she later served in a similar role in Rhodesia, at both Umtali and Salisbury, during the Mashona uprising.

Interested in all that went on around her, she graphically describes the major csmpaigns in Mashonaland, the defeat and death of Makoni, the episode of the Mazoe Patrol and actions in the Hartley district.
