Omschrijving

Adamantia: The Truth About The South African Diamond Fields is a non-fiction book written by Augustus F. Lindley and published in 1873. The book is a detailed account of the discovery and exploration of diamond mines in South Africa. It provides a comprehensive overview of the history of diamond mining in the region, including the discovery of the first diamond in 1867, the subsequent diamond rush, and the development of the diamond industry.Lindley's book is based on his personal experiences as a diamond miner in South Africa. He describes in detail the techniques and tools used by miners to extract diamonds from the earth, as well as the challenges they faced in the harsh and remote environment of the diamond fields. He also provides insights into the social and economic conditions of the diamond mining communities, including the exploitation of African laborers and the emergence of a wealthy diamond elite.Adamantia is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the early days of diamond mining in South Africa, a period that had a profound impact on the country's economy and society. It is an engaging and informative read for anyone interested in the history of mining, the diamond industry, or South African history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
