'Here are recounted the initial prospecting expeditions from the Cape, the first purely speculative boom of any extent in South Africa - the copper mining mania of the 1850's, the troubled question of leases and the effect of the final settlement on the Black peoples who were the original inhabitants of the area, and the rise and development of most important mining centres in Namaqualand.'
