1875190005London: Printed by Wertheimer Lea and Co. 1875. One of the most elusive books on the South African diamond rush First edition rare just six locations among institutional libraries all in South Africa; one copy only on auction records. This compelling firsthand account traces an overland journey from Cape Town through Stellenbosch the Great Karoo and key frontier towns before reaching the diamond fields of Kimberley. The author has evaded identification. Mendelssohn suggests in the typescript "Additions" to his bibliography that the author may be Mary Elizabeth Barber 1818-1899 poet and natural historian; although she accompanied her husband and family to the diamond fields from the Eastern Province whereas the writer of this work travelled from the Cape. However South Africa historian Alfred Graham-Brown doesn't hesitate in attributing it to her see The Settlers' Press: Seventy years of printing in Grahamstown 1979. WorldCat and the South African Bibliography cite copies at the following libraries: Mendelssohn Library South African Library now National Library of South Africa Johannesburg Public library University of the Witwatersrand Kimberley Public Library and University of Pretoria.
