Synopsis & Historical Value
Set in January 1903, the book follows the young historical figure John Buchan—then a member of Lord Milner’s Kindergarten—who is secretly tasked by British Secretary Joseph Chamberlain to track down the legendary missing hoard of gold removed from the State Mint by the fleeing Transvaal government. Traveling by train and horseback through the mountains and forests of Pilgrim's Rest, it details an intense game of espionage against German and Portuguese agents.
