The book details the complex histories of the various indigenous tribes who originally settled the land, tracking the migrations of King Mzilikazi and the initial encounters with Voortrekker leaders like Louis Trichardt and Andries Potgieter. Bulpin brings to life the chaotic gold rush days of Pilgrim’s Rest and Barberton, the dramatic British Annexation, the First Anglo-Boer War, the explosive birth of Johannesburg, the Swazi court of King Mbandeni, and the political fireworks of the Jameson Raid.
