Title: In the footsteps of Gandhi
Subtitle: an illustrated history of Johannesburg's Linksfield Ridge and environs
Description: A history of the suburb of Linksfield Ridge and its environs was documented because some world-famous people sojourned here:   Mahatma Gandhi, Reza Shah Pahlavi (Shah of Iran), and Prince Paul and Princess Olga of Yugoslavia.  Here, too, it was proved to the world that "heavier-than-air" machines could fly at altitudes of about 1 800 metres above sea level.  Field Marshal Lord Roberts stopped overnight here on his march to Pretoria during the Second Anglo-Boer War.  "There is no God but Allah and Mahomet is his prophet", was inscribed in an Indian cemetery.  "Little Italy" flourished here, its ancestors having been the *cartucciere* of a nearby dynamite factory.  An imposing graveyard of one of South Africa's prominent figures, Sir George Farrar, lies on a nearby hill.  South Africa's first "all-electric house" was built here by Hermann Kallenbach, Gandhi's great friend and financier.  The histories of all schools, places of worship and clubs are recorded among others.
