About Carolus Johannes Trichardt
The Great Trek by Oliver RANSFORD issued 1972
Page 36
It is unfortunate that very few of the Voortrekkers kept journals, but an exception was Louis TREGARDT the leader of the Voorste Mense or the Great Trek's 'people in front', and his day-book enables us to obtain a very clear idea of his European companions. Of them the most interesting by far is Karel, TREGARDT's eldest son, partly because he too in later life was to gain great fame as an explorer. But during the long journey to the Zoutpansberg and Delagoa Bay, Karel (or Carolus as his father preferred to call him) was so undeveloped that he strikes us as erratic and conceited young man whose poor powers of observation, incidentally, several times landed the entire company in trouble. Admittedly Carolus even then possessed some skill as a blacksmith and handyman, but the picture we carry away of him and his wife is that of a sulky couple who were a burden to the older man. Carolus was later to describe the relationship between his father and himself as that of counsellor and executive, but in fact Louis TREGARDT's day-book shows that they were very often at cross purposes and on the brink of an irrevocable quarrel.

Notas deur David Abraham Swanepoel
Tregardt se oudste seun word as “Carolus” 493 keer genoem in sy dagboek [1.2}. Weens woorddigting beteken dit nie afsonderlike insidente nie. Verder het ons addisionele inligting oor hom uit ‘n verklaring deur homself en ‘n sekere weduwee Fick. Die 2 bronne het ek nie self onder hande gehad nie, maar lg sal onderhewig wees aan sekondêre inligtingsoordrag en geheuevervaging.
Die talle intra-geselskap geweldadige insidente waarby hy betrokke is gee ‘n swak indruk van hom. Die insident op 13 Mei 1837 is by verre die ergste in die dagboek. Daarby rand hy Izak Albach jr op Vry 29 Des 1837 aan bloot “[om]dat de Baster te trots is in zijn voor komst”.
Hy bring sy kant wel op die trek, veral as ambagsman in die werkswinkels wat by stanings gebou word. Hy is minder uit op togte as sy broer Pieta.
Na die aankoms te Delagoabaai stuur sy pa hom op na die noorde om te soek vir ‘n beter vestigingsplek. Hy bly 2 jaar weg en by sy terugkeer is sy pa ook oorlede en feitlik die hele trek uitgewis en vertrokke na Natal. Die Portugese bied hom ‘n hoë pos aan, maar uiteindelik kom sy sagte kant uit. Hy verlang na sy familie en gaan ook oorland na Natal. Hy vertrek wel nie lank daarna nie na die huidige Middelburg, Mpumalanga waar hy boer en ook sterf.
Anders as sy 2 broers wat volwassenheid bereik het, maar nie baie oud geword het nie, sterf hy op ‘n uitsonderlike 89. Die datum van 1901 wek die indruk dat hy ‘n konsentrasiekampslagoffer kon wees, maar hy kom nie op BCCD voor nie en geen ander internetbron bevestig dit nie.
Sy graf is by http://www.graves-at-eggsa.org/main.php?g2_itemId=2928122.
Daar bestaan ook ‘n klip waarop hy self sy voorletters uitgebeitel het, ingemessel. Foto's en geskiedenis by https://graves-at-eggsa.org/main.php?g2_itemId=2911809. Verraai die hartjie moontlik 'n romantiese kant van hom en is die uitbeiteling gedoen toe hy sy tweede vrou die hof gemaak het?
