The discovery of diamonds (1867) and gold (1886) spurred wealth and immigration and i...

Boxes and bags were everywhere, as well as several caged chickens who were squawking out their accompaniment to the loud music blaring from the tinny speakers. Amazing Grace was playing.
How appropriate, the grandmother thought – except perhaps for the chickens, ...
