The History of Old Durban: And Reminiscences of an Emigrant of 1850 is a book written by George Russell and published in 1899. The book provides a comprehensive account of the history of Durban, a coastal city in South Africa, from its early days as a small settlement to its growth into a bustling port city. Russell, who was an emigrant to Durban in 1850, shares his personal experiences and memories of the city, including its people, culture, and landmarks. He also discusses the role of Durban in the region's history, particularly its significance as a trading hub for the Zulu Kingdom and the British Empire. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of Durban's history.
