Notes |
- Most renowned of the family. Through an accident in youth, he used crutches. His nursemaid accidentally dislocated his hip, but covered up the accident instead of getting him to a doctor. When they eventually found out, it was too late to repair the damage.
Editor of Edinburgh Monthly Magazine (later Blackwoods), Constables magazine and Edinburgh Star. With John Fairbairn he established the South African Journal. Editor of the S.A. Commercial Advertiser. After a conflict with Lord Somerset he was eventually successful in gaining the freedom of the Press. First South African poet, his most famous poem is "Afar in the Desert", and best known prose work is "Narative of a Residence in South Africa."
