"From the colourful days of the Namaqualand copper boom where the first South African Robert Archibald looked for Eldorado, through the turbulent and exciting period when his son Robert Montgomery was caught up in the Kimberley diamond rush, and grew in stature to become the last Mr Speaker of the Natal Legislative assembly; into the twentieth century when Robert George Archibald was besieged in Ladysmith, involved in the Bambata Rebellion and became the dedicated architect of the family home at 'Invernettie'". For hiostorians and Africana collectors alike, this book should be both a pleasure and a source of lasting interest; (404pp.)
