Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Gold Regions of South Eastern Africa
The region described in the following pages was, until the last few years, when the explorations Of Herr Mauch, Erskine, Elton, Chapman, and others somewhat dispersed the cloud Of mystery in which it was enveloped, essentially a mythical one. Its geo graphical features were generally depicted in the manner described by Swift So Geographers in Afric Maps With savage pictures fill their gaps, And o'er unhabitable downs Place elephants instead of towns.
