Palgrave was active in South West Africa (now Namibia) over a period of 25 years, spending eight years in the country as a private individual before becoming a civil servant in Griqualand West, preparing himself for work as a Special Commissioner to Hereroland (or Damaraland, as it was called) and Namaland, undertaking five separate missions for the Cape Government in the early 1880s. It amounts to a series history of Namibia.
