HTML file produced by David Widger "With Buller in Natal, Or, a Born Leader" by G. A. Henty is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers on the tumultuous events surrounding the Second Boer War in South Africa, focusing on a group of young boys from Johannesburg and their experiences as they navigate the complexities of conflict and occupation. At the start of the book, readers are introduced to Chris King and his father at the forefront of emotional turmoil as war seems imminent due to President Kruger’s provocative ultimatum against Britain. The narrative paints a vivid picture of the tensions in Johannesburg as the British population faces increasing oppression from the Boer government. Chris's character stands out as he displays a mix of youthful determination and awareness of the grave circumstances surrounding them. The opening chapters set the stage for the upheaval that follows, highlighting the brave choices made by Chris and his companions as they prepare to engage in the war efforts to free themselves from the Boers' cruel dominance and, ultimately, to fight for their rights and freedoms.
