dc.description.abstractENGLISH PREFACE: The topography of the Cape Colony and, in particular the area of the Southern Cape and Little Karoo, proved intimidating even for our intrepid pioneers. However, this i5no reason for historians to have shied away from this area. Although geographically isolated until well into the 19th Century, it has not been until . well into the second half of the 20th Century that any serious attempt has been made at scientific historical study and synthesis of the area. Dr Andre Appel's work, Die distrik Oudtshoorn tot die tagtigerjare van die 19de eeu: 'n sosioekonomiese studie, has thus been a pioneering work in its attempt to analyse the area in general, and the establishment and developmental stage of the Oudtshoorn district in particular. Julianne Wilson's work on the Overberg, A Changing Rural Economy. and its implications for the Overberg, 1838-1872, has likewise taken an adjacent region in this Southern Cape/Little Karoo area and placed it under the historical microscope.
