To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Still thereARE times which turn even the most peaceful of us perforce intofighters--times when those we love, those we are bound to protect, standin danger of their lives; and at moments like that, no man can doubtwhat is his plain duty. The Matabele revolt was one such moment. In aconflict of race we MUST back our own colour. I do not know whether thenatives were justified in rising or not; most likely, yes; for we hadstolen their country; but when once they rose, when the security ofwhite wom...en depended upon repelling them, I felt I had no alternative. For Hilda's sake, for the sake of every woman and child in Salisbury, and in all Rhodesia, I was bound to bear my part in restoring order. For the immediate future, it is true, we were safe enough in the littletown; but we did not know how far the revolt might have spread; we couldnot tell what had happened at Charter, at Buluwayo, at the outlyingstations. The Matabele, perhaps, had risen in force over the whole vastarea which was once Lo-Bengula's country; if so, their first objectwould certainly be to cut us off from communication with the main bodyof English settlers at Buluwayo.
