Note 107 — IV. Chronicles of Two Leaders of the Great Emigration, Louis Triegard and Pieter Uys.
Reading edition
The difficulty of giving a reliable account of all the details of this event is insurmountable, as it is impossible to reconcile the narratives of those who took part in it with each other. I give therefore only the leading features. Readers who may imagine that every incident should be obtained by thorough research are requested to consult the different statements given by Mr. Bird in his Annals of Natal, and to believe that others consulted by me long before the publication of that work are equally as conflicting.
