A Swedish gold-digger’s account of his adventures in the Land of Gold (1877-1896)
When the author’s voyage as a sailor came to an abrupt end on the coast near East London, little did he foresee the adventures he would experience as a soldier in the Ninth Frontier War, the Zulu War and the Basuto Gun War. Nor did he foresee that he would be mining for gold and diamonds. Numerous b&w photographs and illustrations. 229 Pages. First English edition. Condition: Very good. Binding: Softcover. Some mild edge-wear.
