The Transvaal: cradle of mankind; gold, greed and the explosion of Johannesburg; Louis Trichardt and the Voortrekkers; Oom Paul Kruger, father of the Boers. And always conflict-tribe against tribe when Mzilikazi scourged the Soutpansberg; tribe against trekker when both fought for the land; Boer against Briton in 1880 and again in 1899.
From pre-history to the present day, Transvaal Epic unfolds the saga. The canvas is broad; the array of text, paintings, sketches and photographs both evocative and informative. This is a book to read, to keep, and to read again. Hardcover with dustcover over boards, sealed.
Small repair to top front next to spine of dustcover. 195 pages text with photographs, illustrations and other supportive data and information. Slight offset to inside reverse of endpapers. Very clean copy.
