| This story tells the story of a fight 
        between a white English woman and a black African woman. 
 Our story is set in the middle of the 19th 
        century when the Voortrekkers where moving into the heart of southern 
        Africa in search of fertile land on which to build their farms and 
        communities.
 My name is Jan van de Breck and I was for many years a guide and scout 
        to the Voortrekkers.  I have made the trek into the heart 
        of Africa from coast many times and have had many adventurers on these journeys.  
        Today I want to tell you about one of the most unusual and spirited 
        people I met during my time as a guide - "Crazy Maggie"
