Author Description

Following the Anglo-Boer War, large numbers of malcontents would not or could not return to the land of their birth. In what emerged as the Afrikaner diaspora, some emigrated to Argentina, others to East Africa and the third group settled in the American Southwest. Most of the latter became farmers in the Texas-New Mexico area. This book traces the family traditions and provides genealogical charts for the Viljoen and Snyman families.
