A Veldt Vendetta is a novel written by Bertram Mitford and published in 1903. The story is set in South Africa during the late 19th century, and revolves around the conflict between two families, the van Voorens and the Retiefs, who have been feuding for years. The Retiefs, who are Dutch settlers, accuse the van Voorens, who are of Huguenot descent, of stealing their cattle, and the two families have been at odds ever since.The novel follows the story of Willem van Vooren, a young man who has just returned to South Africa after studying in England. He is eager to prove himself to his family and his community, and is determined to put an end to the feud with the Retiefs. However, his efforts are complicated by the fact that he falls in love with Elsa Retief, the daughter of his family's sworn enemy.As the story unfolds, Willem finds himself caught up in a web of intrigue and betrayal, as he tries to reconcile his love for Elsa with his loyalty to his family. Along the way, he must navigate dangerous political and social forces, as well as confront his own personal demons.A Veldt Vendetta is a gripping tale of love, revenge, and redemption, set against the backdrop of a tumultuous period in South African history. Mitford's vivid descriptions of the landscape and culture of the region, as well as his nuanced portrayal of the characters and their motivations, make this a compelling read for fans of historical fiction and adventure tales.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
