[Hardy-l] woodlanders historical context

[Pat Louw]

Thank you very much to Rosemarie Morgan for her useful suggestions and 
references. Much appreciated.

In addition to information about the forest people I was wondering who 
had access to the woodlands in those days. Was the area  controlled by 
the State? Or did private businesses have contracts? I am trying to form 
a picture in order to compare it to a South African context and a South 
African novel entitled "Dream Forest" by Dalene Matthee in which she 
writes about a forest community in the Knysna Forest in the Cape in the 
nineteenth century.
