The Complete Story of the Transvaal: From the Great Trek to the Convention of London (1885) is a historical account of the Transvaal region of South Africa, written by John Nixon. The book covers the period from the 1830s, when the Boers began their migration (known as the Great Trek) from the Cape Colony to escape British rule, up to the signing of the Convention of London in 1885, which recognized the independence of the Transvaal. The book provides a detailed look at the political, social, and economic developments in the Transvaal during this period, including the conflicts between the Boers and the indigenous peoples, the establishment of the Boer republics, the discovery of gold and the resulting influx of British and other foreign miners, and the tensions between the Boers and the British Empire. Nixon draws on a wide range of sources, including official documents, personal accounts, and contemporary newspapers, to provide a comprehensive and engaging narrative of this important period in South African history. The book is aimed at scholars and students of South African history, as well as general readers interested in the history of colonialism and imperialism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
