This is the story of Orlando Baragwanath and the great and colourful company of prospectors who, by their courage and enterprise, changed the destiny of Southern Africa. It is the story of a boy who dreamed of the romance of prospecting and lived to find, with Frank Lewis, the Copper Belt of Northern Rhodesia. Against the uproarious background of early Johannesburg he learned his trade from great prospectors like "French Bob". In the wilderness of old Rhodesia he received his final lessons of blood and tears, and then, with patience and persistence, he wrote his name in the honoured list of all those who have given to mankind something of value and to history a chapter of bold achievement.
