Published in 1926, this study traces the origins of names given to mountains, rivers, towns, and districts across the Cape. Botha looks at how names evolved through San, Khoikhoi, Dutch, French Huguenot, and British influences, showing how these layers of language reflect the complex history of the region's frontiers and early settlements.

He played a key role in centralizing and preserving the country's historic records, and wrote several foundational books on Cape history and genealogy. His deep understanding of early hand-written records allowed him to trace the origins of place names with an unmatched level of accuracy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Juta \u0026amp; Co., Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58243412066607,"sku":"Place Names in the Cape Province - Colin Graham Botha","price":550.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/5524\/4438\/files\/20260722_135737.jpg?v=1784814968","url":"https:\/\/timeless-collectible-books.com\/products\/place-names-in-the-cape-province-colin-graham-botha-1926","provider":"Timeless Collectible Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
