{"product_id":"the-great-trek","title":"The Great Trek","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1972 by John Murray, this book vividly describes the Great Trek of a few thousand Afrikaner men and women, the pilgrim fathers of the veld, as they trekked into the wild, (armed with only a few muskets, but unlimited religious faith) even though they were opposed by the two most powerful Bantu military empires of the time - the Matabele and the Zulu.  The trek started from Cape Colony across the Orange  River  into what is now the Transvaal, the Orange Free State and Natal. It is regarded as one of the great feats of human endurance in modern history. This is the  quintessential story of a deeply religious people who followed a creed that owed much to the Old Testament. They felt they were  'the Children of Israel' going to the 'Promised Land'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Love Vintage Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51631645262120,"sku":"51043","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lovevintagebooks.com.au\/products\/the-great-trek","provider":"Love Vintage Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
