Man of Tempered Steel - Bruno Schlesinger: Biography of my Father: An Early South African Mining Engineer - Softcover
Synopsis
South Africa - Land of Gold, Diamonds and Adventure. In 1860 Isidor Schlesinger came to the rough and tumble of the gold and diamond fields of South Africa from the sophistication of Central Europe to make his fortune which indeed he did. Later he advised his youngest son Bruno, to study Mining Engineering, so that he too could contribute to the wealth and development of God's Own Country. Bruno was involved in all aspects of mining and exploration including the last and greatest 'Diamond Rush' the world had seen. This richly illustrated work which developed from an essay written by his daughter Helga, outlines Bruno's ancestry and then follows his adventurous life from Austrian Silesia to South Africa until his death in Muizenberg, Cape Province, South Africa in 1945.
