	Bechuana - LoveToKnow 1911
		It would appear that the forerunners of the movement were the Bakalahari and Balala, who were subsequently reduced to the condition of serfs by the later arrivals, and who by intermingling to a certain extent with the aborigines gave rise to the "Kalahari Bushmen" (see Kalahari Desert).
		The Bechuana proper consist of a large number of tribes, whose early history is extremely confused and involved owing to continual inter-tribal wars and migrations, during which many tribes were practically annihilated.
		The Bechuana language, which belongs to the Bantu linguistic family, is copious, with but few slight dialectic differences, and is free from the Hottentot elements found in the Kaffir and Zulu tongues.

		The Griquas and Bechuana tribes were thus gradually checking the Hottentots when, in the nineteenth century, there came two new developments: first, the English took possession of Cape Colony, and the Dutch began to move in larger numbers toward the interior; secondly, a newer and fiercer element of the Bantu tribes,
		The Bechuana hold their own in several centers; one is in Basutoland, west of Natal, where a number of tribes were welded together under the far-sighted Moshesh into a modern and fairly well civilized nation.
		In the latter part of the eighteenth century we have the clash of the Hottentots and Bechuana, followed in the nineteenth century by the terrible wars of Chaka, the Kaffirs, and Matabili.

		The Lion and Giraffe is also an exceedingly graphic snapshot of a scene which Pringle, if he had not witnessed it, had heard described at first hand, and displays all his powers of imagination, observation and description.
		This touching and beautiful piece, part fact, part fiction, truth arranged with art, was based on the story of a Bechuana orphan boy, who had been carried off from his native country by the mountain tribes, half-bred Hottentots, and who fell under Pringle’s protection.
		The touch of the pet springbok was suggested to Pringle by his seeing, a few days afterwards, a slave child playing with a fawn at a farmer’s residence.

		Seed coats of cream-coloured Bechuana white and purple-coloured Agriblue cowpea varieties and the freeze-dried forms of their acetone extracts (CPE) were analysed for total phenol content using the Folin-Ciocalteu and Ferric Ammonium Citrate methods.
		However, the seed coat and CPE of both cowpea varieties were not as effective as TBHQ in reducing the formation of hydroperoxides in the oil.
		Bechuana white CPE and seed coats were more effective than Agriblue in reducing the formation of hydroperoxides.

	King Khama, Emperor Joe, and the Great White Queen: Victorian Britain through African Eyes by Neil Parsons, an excerpt
		British knowledge of the Bechuana can be dated, as we have seen in the introduction to this book, from the appendix on the "Booshuana Nation" in the 1806 publication of A Voyage to Cochin China, satirized by the authors of Munchausen's Travels.
		By contrast with the migrating herders and scattered hunter-gatherers seen in the scrublands on the way, and "naked" warrior farmers seen in the forests of the southeast coast, the Bechuana struck early Europeans as being reassuringly familiar in lifestyle and positively "civilized" in their demeanor.
		The Western image of the Bechuana was to be more fully built up in the nineteenth century by popular works of missionary travel and of big-game hunting, published in midcentury and frequently reprinted thereafter.

		Their language is one of the reasons adduced to prove that the Bechuana tribes belong to a later wave of immigration than others of the Bantu family.
		In the arts of life-in smelting and working iron and copper, in agriculture, in building houses with many rooms, upright walls, and a sloping roof, the Bechuanas are far in advance of all the Kaffir tribes.
		In religious belief the Bechuanas, when the missionaries first came among them; differed little from the other Bantu tribes, as we now find those who have not had much intercourse with Europeans.

	Glimpses of Bechuana Life (May 1890)
		During May 1890 preparations were being made at the police headquarters of "Mafeking" for the advance north to Zimbabwe of the wagon trains and troops of the "Pioneer Column" of the British South Africa Company.
		Early in May the kindness of a friend, whose name is as familiar as a household word among the Bechuanas, gave me the opportunity of accompanying him on a visit to the chief of a neighbouring Bechuana tribe.
		The Bechuana hut from a distance looks like one of the old-fashioned straw beehives or "skeps." On a closer inspection one sees that the brush-wood thatch projects some feet beyond the wall to be supported by posts at intervals, thus forming a shaded verandah of a primitive kind.

		The people among whom they live are Bechuanas, not Kaffirs, though no one would ever learn that distinction from a Boer; and history does not contain one single instance in which the Bechuanas, even those of them who possess firearms, have attacked either the Boers or the English.
		The Boers have generally manifested a marked antipathy to anything but 'long-shot' warfare, and, sidling away in their emigrations towards the more effeminate Bechuanas, they have left their quarrels with the Kaffirs to be settled by the English, and their wars to be paid for by English gold.
		News of these deeds spread quickly among the Bechuanas, and letters were repeatedly sent by the Boers to Sechele, ordering him to come and surrender himself as their vassal, and stop English traders from proceeding into the country.

		Largely as the result of the work of Moffat (who translated the Bechuana tongue to writing), and of other missionaries, the Bechuana advanced notably.

		Let any one contrast the accounts given by humane and observant travellers like Burchell, with what may now be seen in the country between the Vaal and the Molappo, or north of that to the northern confines of the Christian king Kama, of Kamangwato, and he will be able' to appreciate the difference.
		Threatened from the north by the Matabele Zulus, and from the east by the advancing Trek Boers, the Bechuanas, both chiefs and people, have in vain prayed to be taken under the protection of the British Government.
		In the other and less advanced branches of the great Bantu family there is much difference in the civilization of various clans, as they have been more or less under the influence of their European neighbours.

		There were small groups of BaTlhaping (the mostly southerly Tswana or 'Bechuana') living on the lower Vaal near its junction with the Orange around 1830.
		This was the area where the BaTlhaping had got their name as fish-eaters in the previous century, but it was now under the general sovereignty of the Griqua republic which lay to the north of the Cape Colony frontier along the Orange river.
		A famous sketch by Thomas Baines portrays the young chief of such 'Bechuana' as were living on the Vaal around the 1850s, surrounded by his mates and elders, all frantically sewing karosses (animal skins) while they conversed in the kgotla courtyard.
