    Percy Fitzpatrick

    JAMES PERCY FITZPATRICK was born in King William’s Town in 1862. Always active in politics, he also found time to write several books besides the classic Jock of the Bushveld. His first book, Through Mashonaland with Pick and Pen, was published in 1892, followed by The Outspan: Tales of South Africa in 1897 and The Transvaal from Within in 1899. He died on his Eastern Cape Farm, Amanzi, in 1931, where he is buried.
