The Transvaal Outlook with Maps by Albert Stickney (1900)

A report and critique of the Second Boer War (South African War), written by Albert Stickney and originally published in 1900 by Dodd, Mead & Company.

The book provides a contemporary analysis of the military and political situation in South Africa during the conflict. Stickney famously asserts that the primary driver of the war is "GOLD! GOLD! GOLD!"
He focuses heavily on the logistical and transport difficulties faced by the British military. The text examines the rights of the Boers, the political choices made by Britain, and the potential impact of the war's outcome on the British Empire.

Includes four fold-out maps, such as a map of South Africa and another detailing Lord Methuen's military advance.

Albert Stickney (1839–1908) was a prominent American lawyer, Civil War veteran, and political author. He is best known for his legal practice in New York City and his published works critiquing democratic governance and political systems.
