Sunshine and Storm in Rhodesia / Being a Narrative of Events in Matabeleland Both Before and During the Recent Native Insurrection Up to the Date of the Disbandment of the Bulawayo Field Force

An eyewitness account of the uprising in Matabeleland recounts the author's personal experiences before and during the native insurrection, detailing skirmishes, military movements, and everyday life under siege. It combines campaign notes with reflections on causes, including tensions over loss of autonomy and enforced labour, and evaluates administrative decisions that affected security. The narrative interleaves tactical descriptions with commentary on native grievances and the conduct of authorities, and is supplemented by maps and illustrations to clarify geography and events.
