LOGAN'S WAY - The Life and Times of J.D. Logan...a Matjiesfontein Chronicle.
232pp, Laminated boards. 208mm x 146mm x 18mm. Illustrated in colour and B/W throughout. Signed by author. Includes a newspaper clipping on the author.
Slight loss to rear cover coating where a small price tag was removed from a flat yellow tinted area, so not too noticeable. Very good condition otherwise.
"In 1884, young immigrant Scot, James Logan, purchased land at "a place called Matjesfontein", an insignificant railway halt in the depths of the Karoo. The Cape Government Railways had, by then, reached the Kimberley diamond fields, and - following Cecil Rhodes' vision of the "road to the North", his dream of a Cape to Cairo line - was extending into the Zambezi hinterland. Logan, whose meteoric rise was based on an energetic and meticulous efficiency, had been awarded the government catering contract at Touws River, which lies within the vast spaces of the Karoo."
