Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Jan Geldenhuys was called up in October 1899 to serve in the Kroonstad Commando under Commandant Martinus Schoeman on the Western Front and deployed for the Siege of Kimberley. He fought at the Battles of Belmont, Graspan, Twee-Riviere (Modder River), Magersfontein and several other minor skirmishes. He was captured in April 1902 [a mere two months before the end of the war] and banished as a prisoner of war to Umballa, India, where his experiences till Thursday, 20th November 1902, were documented. He shared a tent with his father-in-law and later met up with his father and brother who were POW's at Bhimtal. His diaries, written in high-Dutch, are lodged with the Anglo-Boer War museum in Bloemfontein. The author's grandmother, Lizzie Preller, having published her 'Oorlogsherinneringe', provided the motivation and inspiration to research and to add this addition to African history. Jan Geldenhuys and Lizzie Preller were buried on Rustpan, the family farm between Bothaville and Kroonstad in the Orange Free State. The author followed his grandfather and father's footsteps and joined the military - serving as a pilot for the duration of the Rhodesian War. Like his grandparents, he has published his war experiences. …

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This is Book 2 of the series Beulah.It tells what lies beyond the images that appear in the series. The story starts with the previous owners of the rural lifestyle block that Stu and Dee McColl purchased just outside Paeroa - world famous in New Zealand for the 'big brown bottle', the town where the cordial "Lemon and Paeroa" or plain L&P had its origin. Black Rock is also a well known mountain feature on the Coromandel Range. Everyone associated with the property have left their mark on this fascinating home and garden. Visitors are invited to tackle a long list of 'projects' and make their contribution which is and will be enjoyed by all and sundry.The 'projects list' has in the main achieved what was originally intended. Some were not quite sustainable and have been abandoned of modified with time. Folks tend to return to take on other chores and only a few who shied away stayed away. However, many keep on coming back probably because Beulah is such an amazing gem in the middle of everywhere in New Zealand. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Beulah Books is the complete serialised set of crafts, hobbies, home, healthy family relationships on a lifestyle property in New Zealand. It's all love and marriage. The early Maori who arrived in the Ohinemuri area around 1600, the European pioneers who settled here from 1842, and those associated with the development of the goldfields and the township of Paeroa from the early 1870s, quickly recognised the unique mineral waters bubbling from a deep underground spring for its medicinal and thirst quenching qualities.One early report, around 1905, states: "The chance discovery of the spring of mineral water in a cow paddock near the confluence of the Ohinemuri and Waihou Rivers, known as the Junction, was followed by frequent visits to the hole in the ground from which palatable water could be obtained for the taking. That was long before anyone thought of commercialising the product.""The writer and his lady friend struck upon the happy idea of taking a lemon or two in their pockets and adding lemon juice to the mineral water anticipating the future use that delectable refreshing drink "Paeroa and Lemon"."Paeroa and lemon was enjoyed by some of the early residents of Paeroa to quench the thirsty and on occasions to relieve a bilious attack".A report compiled by a noted Government balneologist A. S. Wohlman, OBE, MD., BS (London) in 1904 stated: "The Paeroa spring is a large warm effervescing spring of similar nature to the Te Aroha spring, but containing 73 grains of magnesium bicarbonate to the gallon.""It is good for dyspepsia and pleasant to drink and in older times had the reputation among the goldminers of the district as a Sunday morning drink after a Saturday night "burst". It can be beneficial for constipation."The Paeroa spring water as a mild alkaline water with iron salts and was valuable for medicinal purposes and as a table water. He was not sure anyone would go to the expenses of bottling it, especially with the large amount of tea which was drunk in the colony."The Paeroa water analysis was: Temperature 80deg. F.; fair effervescence of CO2; pleasant sweetish taste. Magnesium bicarbonate, 73 grains per gallon; sodium bicarbonate, 39.4; calcium bicarbonate, 35.5; ferrous bicarbonate 1.6; total solids 167.8."Yet another early recollection about 1906: "A favourite Sunday walk was to the mineral spring near Junction Wharf. The spring filled a small grassy well, the overflow going into the nearby creek. The usual thing was to have a drink there and take a bottle home. This property was taken over by a Mr Fewell who started bottling the water. This was the beginning of Lemon and Paeroa." This item is printed on demand.
