The Voortrekkerperiod of Pietermaritzburg's development has received scant attention and inaccurate conclusions, based almost exclusively on incomplete archival records, have been drawn. A re-examination of the written record, with the use of artistic evidence, not totally sheds further light on the dorp's embryonic history; it also reveals that Pietermaritzburg is a repository of Voortrekker domestic architecture.
