  • "Dog stories written for the author's children."@en
  • ""'Hunting stories, like traveller's tales, are proverbially dangerous to reputations, however literally true they may be ... ' So wrote J Percy FitzPatrick of his perennial best-seller, never out of print in the century since its first publication. Here is the story of the 'Boy' who went to seek his fortune and of his bull-terrier, the plucky runt of the litter; of Marokela, the champion Zulu haulier; of Jantje, the Bushman with all his lore; and of pioneer types from previous goldrushes in California and Australia. A tribute to the life of the 1880s in the outposts of the agrarian Transvaal, this complete edition includes for the first time the author's "Postscript" and "The Creed of Jock". --Back cover."
  • "Jock of the Bushveld is the classic and much loved story based on the true experiences of Percy Fitzpatrick and his Staffordshire bull terrier Jock. The story begins in the 1880s, at the time of the South African gold rush, when a young Fitzpatrick worked as an ox-wagon transport rider in the old Transvaal. There he came across a man who was in the process of drowning a puppy, the runt of the litter. He saved the dog and the story of his ever-faithful and loving companion was born. Fitzpatrick later told the stories of his adventures as bedtime stories to his children. Rudyard Kipling, a goo."@en
  • "A young man in the late 1800's quits his job and follows a gold rush to South Africa. On his way he saves a pup, keeps him to become a treasured companion. A friendship more valuable than gold develops."
  • "This 1922 volume offers an illustrated edition of the classic tale of a dog during the Anglo-Boer War."@en
  • "Jock's owner was a young transport rider in the rugged and colorful days of the Transvaal gold rush. Those were the days when big game roamed the land and each sunrise brought a new adventure."@en
