After completing his engineering apprenticeship,
Richard Paver emigrated to the Eastern Cape in 1843.
He worked on the watermills at Sidbury and Glenthorn
before entering into an agreement with Sir Andries
Stockenstrom to erect a mill at Maasstroom. His
reminiscences, written about forty years later, deal
largely with his experiences during the Frontier wars
which ensued. In 1846 he was a member of the burgher
force which, under Stockenstrom's command, cleared
the Amatolas before striking out across the Kei
River. After war had broken out again at the end of
1850, he and his brother Henry remained at Maasstrom,
attempting to defend the position until it was
destroyed by fire eight months later. Paver's
reminiscences provide vivid insight into a
little-known and contentious phase in the history of
the Eastern Cape frontier.

to be the cause of its demise in this format, and
with far more information than any of them. Serious
