(London: Sampson Low, Marston & Company, 1892).

FIRST EDITION OF THIS ELUSIVE WORK, VERY HANDSOMELY BOUND BY BAYTUN-RIVIERE. Lord Randolph Churchill, the legendary father of the equally legendary Winston Churchill, traveled to South Africa at the invitation of Sir Henry Loch and Cecil Rhodes, Governor and Prime Minister, respectively, of South Africa. He toured the diamond and gold mines at Kimberly and Johannesberg, and spent some time shooting in Mashonaland, a thousand miles inland. The letters that compose this book were originally published in the DAILY GRAPHIC and outline the details of his very engaging and significant journey.
