Hardcover first edition 1983 published by Shuter & Shooter and the Baynesfield Board of Administration, in a slipcase that is lightly worn but still functional. The jacket is whole and unmarked, but has some rubbing on the extremities caused by removal from and insertion into the slipcase. There is some light creasing to the first few pages, but otherwise all are crisp, clean and unmarked. "Joseph Baynes is, perhaps, one of the most neglected figures in South African history. This book tells the fascinating story of a most remarkable man of Scottish ancestry, scion of a noble family and descended from King Donald Bayne of Scotland; of how, as a Byrne Settler, a young lad of eight, he came out to this country in 1850; of how he founded and built up a magnificent estate of 10 000 hectares, which on his death he left as a gift to the people of South Africa".
