A Woman’s Part in a Revolution

A Woman’s Part in a Revolution is the 1897 account by Natalie Harris Hammond (1859-1931) of the Jameson Raid and its aftermath in South Africa, where her husband, the American mining engineer John Hays Hammond, was condemned to death and then reprieved for his part in the Johannesburg reform conspiracy against the Transvaal. Writing from inside the crisis, she records the imprisonment, the campaign for the men’s lives, and the politics on the road to the Boer War. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
