Usually eclipsed by his better-known wife, Susanna, Dunbar Moodie (1797-1869) spent ten years in South Africa where he was magistrate at Umkomaas, Natal. He left in 1829 and settled with his wife in Canada where he joined the provincial militia, rising to the rank of captain and paymaster. He then acted as Sheriff of the County of Hastings until 1863 when he was forced to resign after unintentionally contracting an illegal arrangement in hiring a deputy. Most of this book is about his adventures in South Africa, possibly because his adventures there were more successful. TPL 6226. Dionne III 1306. Gagnon I 2440. Mendelssohn II p. 51. Rev.
