Extracted from Van Der Merwe (Floris) Die Boere-Sirkus van St Louis page 61 -62 : The South African presence at the World’s Fair was made possible by the South African Boer War Exhibition Company. The founder and original promoter of this company was Captain Arthur Waldo Lewis, a Missourian by birth, who fought for the Rhodesian forces ( Bushveld Carbineers) in the Anglo Boer War. After the war he returned to Missouri where he conceived the idea of staging a Boer War exhibition at the coming Exposition.
