  Andries Pretorius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andries Wilhelmus Jacobus Pretorius (November 27, 1798 – 23 July 1853) was a leader of the Boers who was instrumental in the creation of the Transvaal Republic, as well as the earlier but short-lived Natalia Republic in present-day South Africa.
Pretorius was at once chosen commandant-general and speedily collected a force to avenge the deaths of Piet Retief and his party, who had been murdered by the Zulu king Dingane the previous February under treacherous circumstances.
Pretorius met the British commissioners at a farm near the Sand River, and on 17 January 1852 they concluded the convention by which the independence of the Transvaal Boers was recognized by Britain.

 Trek - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The Great Trek was mainly the result of the "bursting of the dam" of pent up population migration and population pressures, as Trekboer migrations eastward had come to a virtual stop for at least three decades (though some Trekboers did migrate beyond the Orange River prior to the Great Trek).
Although in revenge the forces of Andries Pretorius killed about 3,000 Zulus in the Battle of Blood River in a classic mismatch between guns and spears, Zulu resistance changed the direction of the Trek.
The emphasis moved from occupying from the Zulu lands east of the Drakensberg mountains to the west of them and onto the high Transvaal which was occupied by peoples devastated by the Mfecane.

 Great Trek - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dingane changed his mind, kiling Retief, his delegation and half of the Natal contingent of Voortrekkers, including all the women and children at Blaauwkrans and Weenen.
These attacks on the Trekboers evoked retaliation, with the 470 strong forces of Andries Pretorius taking on over 10,000 Zulu warriors who attacked their prepared positions at the Battle of Blood River.
The Boers suffered only 3 injuries and no fatalities while 3000 Zulus were slain (turning the river red with blood).
