I picked up a copy of A.T.Bryant's THe Zulu People this afternoon. Wow this is starting to feel like research for a term paper in college....but much more fun. Just scanning over the text looks like lot of good info to read.

Whille looking for any additional books in the shop the Proprietress asked me if I had any interest in the Anglo-Zulu War. When I told her yes, she offered me a folder of newspaper clippings from the 1979 Centennial at a very reasonable price So I bought the folder as well as the book I was looking for.

Here's what I found in the folder.

Two first day covers and a plate block set of stamps.

Three black and white photo's taken at the Celebration at Isandlwana in May 1979. (marked on back)

A pamphlet from the Local History Museum titled "The Needless War The Exhibition of Artifacts, pictures and documents to mark the centenary of the Anglo Zulu War of 1879".

41 Newspaper clippings from 1979 reporting various events of the centennial celebration as well as the war.

Don't know what I am going to do with this stuff. For now I'll just toss it in the drawer and maybe use it for trading stock. Kind of a neat tie-in to the one of the last great battles where the Spear challenged the gun.

Only thing missing was nice isijula or iklwa.
