In October 1899, the Dutch Boer army laid siege to the town of Mafeking in South Africa during the Second Boer War. The siege which lasted 217 days generated a huge outcry at home in Britain and a mobilization of troops to relieve the town followed, This book by Filson Young tells the story of the daring rescue of the town, a feat that won admiration to the Commander of the British troops Colonel Robert Baden-Powell.
