The Ridge Of The White Waters ("witwatersrand")

"The Ridge Of The White Waters," also known as "Witwatersrand," offers a vivid snapshot of Johannesburg and its surrounding regions in the late 19th century. William Charles Scully provides impressions from his visit to Johannesburg, enriched with observations from Durban, Delagoa Bay, and the Low Country.

Scully's account captures the burgeoning urban landscape of Johannesburg during a period of significant transformation. Beyond its geographical exploration, the book delves into the social and cultural dynamics of the region. It will be of interest to historians, travel enthusiasts, and anyone keen to understand the historical roots of modern South Africa.
