Five programmes based on the journals of Jeremiah Goldswain
Adapted and introduced by Anthony Delius
Reader, Bernard Miles
2—' Labour, Love, and a Lost Soul'
Jeremiah Goldswain was a sawyer who left Great Marlow at the age of 17 to become one of the ' 1820 Settlers ' in the Eastern Cape. For nearly forty years he kept a daily record of the trials and surprises of that first generation in Africa; and his gusto and humour were as tenacious as his Buckinghamshire speech.
In this programme Goldswain acquires a wife-with much difficulty; endures a disastrous flood; and makes a brave attempt to mend his ways.
The journals were edited by Una Long.
