Cornell spent years as a prospector in the remote parts of South Africa, and here recounts his wanderings in search of minerals. He tells of ox-wagon treks and broken disselbooms, long waits for water, the people and animals of the veld and desert, and the hopes and disappointments of a life spent looking for the strike.
