Valley of the Brutes – Alan Forrest

“Set in the last quarter of the 19th century when diamonds and gold were found in vast quantities in the northern Cape and in the Transvaal. This story describes the golden valley whose mining population made much money and spent it with abandon. One of the earliest successful goldfields was that at Pilgrims’ Rest where, in the 1870’s the sifted sand of the Blyde River produced gold nuggets in abundance.”
