  South African Military History Society - Journal- Sir Harry Smith
Harry Smith was not; he was born in a modest house in the village of Whittlesea, in the county of Cambridgeshire, in 1787.
Smith distinguished himself in numerous major and minor engagements and was present at the capture of Badajos (6 April, 1812), where the British succeeded in breaking into the heavily fortified town after some of the most ferocious fighting of the entire Napoleonic war and after suffering the most fearful losses.
Smith had no objection, naturally, to the demolition of military installations but was horrified by the order ‘to burn the elegant Houses of Parliament and the President’s house’, and admits that the behaviour of the British army could be compared with that of ‘the Red Savages of the woods’.

 Smith, Edwin W., South Africa/Zambia, Primitive Methodist
Edwin William Smith who became famous as a missionary/anthropologist with linguistic talents, was born at Aliwal North, South Africa, on September 7, 1876.[1] His parents were missionaries of the Primitive Methodist Connexion, a movement that began in the early nineteenth century and became one of the main branches of British Methodism.
Smith took a keen interest in the religious beliefs of African people and published his first thoughts on this subject in 1907 in an overview article, "The Religion of the Bantu." In the same year he followed this with a published lecture, "The Secret of the African," which concentrated on Ila religion.
African religion had a very low profile in studies of comparative religion in those years, and he played a leading role in helping to provide a sufficient base of coherent knowledge for others to become interested in it.

As a conservative professor of economics at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, New York, I disagreed with such prohibitions and political obstructions to the free flow of capital.
The one exception was Richard Rosenbaum, the flamboyant vice chairman of the board of trustees of Hobart and William Smith and later a gubernatorial candidate for the state of New York.
One of the truly unique features of Hobart and William Smith Colleges is that the faculty is encouraged to teach new courses, especially those which cross disciplines, involve women's studies, and lead to travel or terms abroad.

 iafrica.com | easymoney | news features Reverse 419 scam attempt
In a variation on the notorious Nigerian 419 scam, it seems South African criminals are trying to prey on foreigners with fraudulent promises of instant wealth.
In a conventional 419 scam, a foreign national approaches a South African, usually by email, with promises of a large commission if they assist in laundering a huge sum of money.
Once the South African has agreed to assist, they are often required to pay a "fee" in connection with the transaction — after which they never hear from the fraudster again.

George M. Frederickson, William Smith Mason Professor of American History at Northwestern University, has made a major contribution to the comparative study of fl-white relations in the United States and South Africa.
Frederickson sees major contributing factors in the rise of racial slavery in the tension or divisions within the white social structure and in the fact that "Africans and other non-Europeans were initially enslaved not so much because of their color and physical type as because of their legal and cultural vulnerability" (p.

 FIRST DINOSAUR DISCOVERY IN SOUTH AFRICA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
It is a little known fact that the earliest discovery of dinosaur bones in South Africa were made early in 1845 by two eminent pioneers of science in the Eastern Cape, Dr William Guybon Atherstone and Mr Andrew Geddes Bain.
At the close of the Sixth Frontier War in the Eastern Cape (1834-35) Andrew Geddes Bain, a settler of Scottish descent, was appointed to the post of Assistant Engineer in the Royal Engineers to supervise the construction of military roads on the frontier, in the country around Grahamstown.
As one can see from the sequence of events, an element of confusion had surrounded this important South African fossil for some 136 years (1845-1981) and a project was initiated in 1991 to try and relocate the discovery site in the Bushmans River valley.

 South African Jordy Smith eliminated at World Champs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
In yesterday afternoon’s do-or-die round six clash, many thought the 16 year-old South African had done enough to advance as he extracted everything possible from Papenoo’s peaky waves, even dipping into his bag of tricks to execute two dazzling forehand aerial reverses in his bid to progress.
The defending champion rode 10 waves in the 20 minute encounter, five of which earned the South African good scores averaging between five and seven points, but ultimately the effort would not be enough and he finished third behind Geiselman by just 0.03 of a point.
Smith's elimination means that the South African team's hopes of finishing in the top three in Tahiti have been dashed and they now look set to finish in fourth or fifth place overall.

Although the bodies of William Cowle and Robert Sproat were largely decomposed, traces of strychnine were found in the vertebrae of each man. Their bones also had a pinkish discolouration, suggesting that the men had taken pink strychnine, which was common at the time.
