A History of the South African Gold Rush
A History of the South African Gold Rush
Johannesburg known as the City of Gold was quite literally built on gold. When George discovered what he believed to be gold bearing ore in the Witwatersrand he made his claim with the government of the Zuid Afrikaanse Republiek, which then gave him the mining rights. Strangely he sold his claim for ten pounds shortly afterward and disappeared, no one ever heard from him again.
