Renowned South African historian Charles van Onselen challenges a historiography of over 120 years, locating the Jameson Raid in American rather than British history and forcing us to rethink the histories of at least three nations. Through a close look at the little-remembered figure of John Hays Hammond, a confidant of both Rhodes and Jameson, he discovers the American Old West on the South African Highveld.
