Isaac Williams Wauchope (1852-1917) was a prominent member of the Eastern Cape African elite in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a Congregational minister, political activist, historian, poet and, ultimately, legendary hero in the Mendi disaster. A Lovedale student, he was instrumental in founding one of the first political organisations for Africans, an enthusiastic campaigner for the establishment of the University of Fort Hare. This volume assembles a selection of these writings, in English and in Xhosa, reflecting Isaac Wauchope's momentous and turbulent life.

F.S. Malan, at one time editor of 'Ons Land', was a Cape delegate to the National Convention in Durban, which negotiated the terms of the Union of South Africa. Malan himself noted that the journal had a dual purpose: '1 To give a short summary of the proceedings of the Conference and 2. To put on record what my own views were on the major problems to be dealt with'.
