The Story Of An African Seaport: Being The History Of The Port And Borough Of Durban, The Seaport Of Natal (1899) is a historical account of the development and growth of the port and borough of Durban in South Africa. Written by Joseph Forsyth Ingram, the book details the early history of Durban, from its founding by British colonizers in the mid-19th century to its emergence as a major seaport for the region. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the early settlement of the area by Zulu tribes, the arrival of European colonizers, the establishment of the port and its infrastructure, the growth of the town and its economy, and the social and political changes that took place over the years. Through detailed research and firsthand accounts, Ingram provides a comprehensive and engaging narrative of Durban's history, highlighting the challenges and triumphs of the people who helped shape the town into what it is today. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of South Africa, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the early years of one of the country's most important seaports.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
