Facsimile of the 1911 edition with a new Foreword and Index. A commentary on aspects of life and society in early Kimberley and the early days of the diamond fields. Many of the character sketches are written in an extremely caustic manner, and many of the African magnates are handled in a somewhat rougher manner than is generally accorded to these favourites of fortune.
