In 1880, Ludlow toured Zululand shortly after the war with Cetywayo and provides a good description of the state of the country at that time. “In addition to the account of Zululand, its political condition, and the habits and customs of the people, the volume contains a sketch of the history of the country under Chaka and his successors, down to the time of the British” (Mendelssohn).The author reports the hosile sentiments of the locals at the thought of Cetywayo’s return.Mendelssohn I, pp933-4.
