Horseman of the Veldt

Malcolm Archibald

Newly commissioned, Selkirk is ordered to form his own unit of irregular horse and treks across Africa to forestall a dangerous enemy incursion. His farming background gives him empathy with a Boer family, one of whose daughters is actively fighting with a Boer commando, but once again he crosses the Drongans.
