About This Item
Macmillan South Africa Publishers (Pty) Ltd, 1978 Previous owner's ex libris stamp on flyleaf. A clean and tightly bound book."Within the short space of twenty years, Nellmapius was to win and lose several fortunes, to become friend and confidant of Paul Kruger and to experience the bitterness of an ignominious prison sentence on a charge of embezzlement. The drama of this court case, which led to the involvement of President Paul Kruger in a clash between the Executive and the Judiciary, is still quoted in legal circles. Oom Paul's intercession was a public acknowledgement of the friendship and trust that had been built up over the years between these two men. This account of the career and final personal tragedy of the Transvaal's first industrialist brings to life a remarkable figure in South African history." 120 pages. Size: Approx 6" Wide and 9" Tall
