'Among all the rivers of Southern Africa, none can surpass the Vaal for sheer romance. Here, for close on a hundred years, diggers - professional and amateur - have recovered fabulous wealth or met with abject failure. "RIVER OF DIAMONDS" brings to light, as only Eric Rosenthal knows how to do, these strange and unexpected facts in our midst.
Human tales of the early and the later River Diggings pass in review - The Man who "proved" that South Africa had no Diamonds, the astonishing "Vaal River Battleship," the Secrets of Longlands Pool, The Story of Meyer's Luck, What the found in Droogeveld Sluit, the Brotherhood of the Diamond Buyers, Cecil Rhodes and the River Diggers and a host of other true stories make this book a fascinating addition to South African Literature.'
