BULPIN, T. V. LOST TRAILS OF THE TRANSVAAL. Cape Town: Thomas Nelson, 1965. First Edition. ."Altogether the Transvaal is a natural treasure chest in a magnificently varied landscape setting. In an environment so beautiful and laden with such dynamic possibilities of wealth, it would be surprising if anything less had resulted than a human story of immense variety, restless movement, and all the varied passions, intrigues and contentions that the avariciousness of man can be expected to arouse. To the Transvaal, in fact, have come a remarkable collection of human beings, attracted there from the ends of the earth in hope of finding their heart's desire of freedom or fortune in the wilderness. Through the years they have adventured and explored, argued, intrigued, and fought to secure their ends. Of them all, many prospered and the purposeful trails they blazed have grown into mighty highways. But many more simply played their part in the human drama, and then vanished from the scene entirely; their ambitions and dreams and schemes trampled in the dust; the trails they blazed quite overgrown; their purpose forgotten; their hopes for ever lost." 474pp, ills + linedrawings.
