"Paul Kruger and the Rise of the South African Republic. A history of the Transvaal Boers from the time of the Great Trek to the fourth election pf Paul Kruger as President of the South African Republic. The work, which is very voluminous, contains a full account of the Jameson Raid and the revolution in Johannesburg." Medelssohn, 1957 : 554. The following is taken from Wikipedia and South African History Online : Stephanus Johannes Paulus Kruger (10 October 1825 – 14 July 1904), affectionately known as "Oom Paul", was State President of the South African Republic (Transvaal). He gained international renown as the face of Boer resistance against the British during the South African or Second Boer War (1899–1902). Kruger was also instrumental in the formation of the Kruger National Park, the largest and one of the most famous national parks in the country. After numbers of game began to dwindle in the late 19th century, due to hunting, Kruger advocated the policy of setting aside specific areas for animals to proliferate without human interference.
