Tuhia he tomokanga mō tēnei wāhanga - I haere ia ki Te Hononga o Amerika i te tau 1904 me te Tumuaki Piet Cronjé (o te Pakanga o Paardeberg
Ko te rongonui) ki te whai wāhi i roto i te Louisiana Purchase Exposition (St. Louis, Missouri) me te "Boer War Circus" <unk> whakaahua o nga whakaaturanga mai i te Pakanga Boer. I muri i tana wehenga mai i te whakaaturanga, ka noho ia ki te US. I whakarerea e ia tana wahine, a Lenie (née Els), kaore i tino hiahia ki te wehe atu i Awherika ki te Tonga, i te wa i kii ai nga purongo kei te whakaipoipo ia ki a May Belfort. I muri mai ka marenatia ia ki tētahi wahine nō Amerika, ki a Myrtle Dickerson. I rahua ngā whakamātau ki te whakatū i tētahi kāinga Boer ki te raki o Mehiko.
