South Africa has long awaited a full HISTORY OF JOHANNESBURG. Here is one written by an author who was himself in Johannesburg from 1892 onwards and had personal experience of much of which he writes. He saw the big explosion at Braamfontein and knew the town during the days of the Jameson Raid and the Boer War. His uncle, Dr W. J. Leyds, was one of President Kruger's closest advisers; and the records of his own family throw many personal lights on the earliest days of the Johannesburg story. The twenty-one chapters of the book cover every phase of the development of the world's most famous mining camp into one of the cities of the Southern Hemisphere and describe every facet of its growing life.
