Trekboer

The trekboere (pastoralists) are legends of South African history. Wikipedia says that "the group continued well into the 19th century". However, here's something interesting. My father-in-law was a trekboer. In his younger years, he took to the heights, while the farmers had the valleys below. Now in his 70's, he might well have been one of the very last trekboers. OBSERVATION: The animals he herded were indigenous, too. He was joined by a brother-in-law.
