Rogues, Rebels and Runaways: Eighteenth-Century Cape Characters
The text contains stories of some of the more remarkable persons in the early history of the Cape Town:
An amorous beer brewer who was brought down by his fatal passion for a young slave woman
the 'Beast of the Bokkeveld'
the social bandit Estienne Barbier
...as well as an assortment of runaway slaves and company deserters.
These are some of the characters from an obscure period of the Cape's history whom Dr Nigel Penn has brought to life.
