Zulus

zoo'looz, a tribe of Kafirs inhabiting the southeast coast of Africa. They are a tall, well formed people,--the most warlike tribe in South Africa. Before the introduction of firearms they had clubs, axes, javelins, and shields. They practiced agriculture and had herds of cattle. They came into conflict with the British in 1879. Their chief, the brave Cetewayo, showed no little skill in cutting off British regiments, but he was overpowered, and Zululand was made a part of British Natal. Young Napoleon, the son of Napoleon III, lost his life while serving in a British company against the Zulus.
