By Louis Cohen

1924
First Edition

A colorful, gossipy memoir detailing the rough-and-tumble early days of South Africa's diamond and gold rushes, focusing on Johannesburg's "seamy side" of share-dealing, boxing, horse-racing, and its vibrant, often scandalous, social life, featuring prominent figures like Barney Barnato and Cecil Rhodes from the perspective of a journalist and stockbroker who lived through it all.

Cohen's previous book, Reminiscences of Kimberley, led to a libel suit with J.B Robinson, making him a controversial figure.
