Boer Family, 1886. The Boers (Afrikaans for farmers) were of Dutch descent. Recognised by many Africans as a tribe, the were a semi-nomadic cattle owning people. When faced with situations they did not like (i.e. emancipation of slaves in the Cape by the British) they loaded up their oxwagons and trekked. Their life and values were based upon the Old Testament which was the guide on their travels. When they were faced with loss of land and political control by the British quest for gold they were unable to find more land and so they fought - the results were the Boer Wars.
