Paul Kruger called them-foreigners. As he sat on his stoep in Pretoria, with one massive hand resting on the Holy Bible which guided his every thought and action, he was convinced that all the forces of evil were congregating along the "ridge of white waters". Let them dig their gold: Uitlanders they would remain.

This is their story, and the story of their city which, built on gold, was baptised in blood. It is a story so fast-moving, so packed with incident, excitement, and outrageous characters, that it must surely be one of the most enthralling ever told.
