This is a comprehensive history of the Transvaal up to the Convention of 1884. The early chapters briefly describe events leading up to the Great Trek. The story becomes detailed as soon as the Trekkers cross the Vaal river. The battles for leadership; The discovery of gold; The Delagoab Bay Railway; The annexation of the Transvaal; The administration of Shepstone; The First Boer War and the two Conventions are fully described. The author had no hesitation in criticising Boer, or Brit, when he felt it justified.
