Both before and after the end of the nineteenth century the Great Trek of the 1830s and 1840s was a recurrent theme in historical fiction. Not only in many of the novels written in Dutch and Afrikaans, but also in some which appeared in English, the bravery of the Voortrekkers was a pivotal theme. Often merged with this heroic motif was an identification of the Voortrekkers with the Israelites of the Old Testament. This thematic dualism reached its zenith in De Voortrekkers of Het Dagboek van Izak van der Merwe, whose authors, John Daniel Kestell en Nico Hofmeyr, both of whom were Dutch Reformed ministers, constructed the Great Trek as a post-figurative Exodus. Voor die einde van die negentiende eeu en selfs daarna was die Groot Trek van die agtiendertiger en -veertiger jare 'n herhaaldelike tema in historiese romans. In talle van die romans wat in Nederlands en Afrikaans geskryf is, en in 'n mindere mate ook die wat in Engels verskyn het, is die dapperheid van die Voortrekkers beklemtoon. Saam met die heldhaftige beeld was nog 'n prominente tema die identifikasie van die Voortrekkers met die Israeliete van die Ou Testament. Die hoogtepunt van die tema is in De Voortrekkers of Het Dagboek van Izak van der Merwe bereik, waarin die skrywers, John Daniel Kestell en Nico Hofmeyr, altwee N.G.-predikante, die Groot Trek as 'n latere Eksodus beskou het.
