Dr. Jameson (1908)

Dr. Jameson is a book written by George Seymour Fort and published in 1908. The book chronicles the life and career of Dr. Leander Starr Jameson, a British colonial statesman and physician who played a significant role in the history of southern Africa. Dr. Jameson was a prominent figure in the colonization of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and was involved in the infamous Jameson Raid, a failed attempt to overthrow the government of the South African Republic in 1895. The book provides a detailed account of Jameson's early life, his medical career, and his political activities in southern Africa. It also explores his relationships with other prominent figures of the time, including Cecil Rhodes, the founder of Rhodesia, and Paul Kruger, the president of the South African Republic. The book offers a fascinating insight into the complex political and social landscape of southern Africa during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and sheds light on the motivations and actions of one of its most controversial figures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
