Excerpt from Peter Moors Fahrt Nach Sudwest: Ein Feldzugsbericht IN so far as the editor is aware, the present edi tion of Gustav Frenssen's Peter Moors F ahrt nach Sfidwest is the only text for school and college read ing that deals with the subject of the German colonies. For this reason it has seemed advisable to give, in the following Introduction, along with an appreciation of Gustav Frenssen and his work, a comprehensive account of German colonization activity in Southwest Africa. It is hoped that the perspective and the general knowledge thus gained will materially aid in the enjoyment of this excellent tale of German valor. For material per taining to German Southwest Africa the editor is especially indebted to Gustav Uhl's Deutsch Sad westafrika, published in 1911, in Velhagen Kla sing's Volksbdcher der Erdkunde.
