| Abstract: | For ten years, the author's family lived in a government house near the Salisbury Kopje in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). She describes the first ten years of the history of the Kopje, where the pioneers arrived in 1890. The Kopje symbolized the start of a new life for these adventurers. The author describes, amongst others, house building and home designs, problems met by the pioneers, the arrival of the first newspaper company, entertainment, the first hotel, the building of the Market Hall, the founding of sports clubs, the Shona and Ndbele uprising following an epidemic of rinderpest in 1895, and the coming of the railway in 1899.
