Foreword:

"This book represents the culmination of many years of research, debate and writing. A fascinating subject gave rise to an equally absorbing publication, which it is hoped will enlighten and give pleasure to countless readers. Part of its charm lies in the book's wealth of new material and its attention to biographical and other detail.

Logan's Way focuses primarily on J.D. Logan and Matjiesfontein, within the context of the host of interesting people, places and events of the age. Major John Buist has this to say about his legendary grandfather:

'My grandfather James Dougles Logan arrived in Cape Town with only a few shillings in his pocket. Due to hard work and determination he became one of the personalities of his time.'

Not only did Logan establish Matjiesfontien and help to build the modern South Africa, but he made an even greater contribution to the nation and the world in setting a priceless example to others, in terms not only of what he achieved in life, but how he achieved what he did."
