Arthur Aaron Boss (1861-1955) was a soldier and stockbroker. His diary, dated 22 February - 29 June 1879, relates to the campaign against Chief Morosi, the taking of the mountain and death of the Chief which resulted in the decline of the Baphuti tribe. It is accompanied by a plan of the mountain, a typscript of the diary by Dr P.H. Butterfield (30 pages) and an article on the campaign in The Star, 29 June 1929. The original can be found in the Johannesburg Public Library.
Replica of the Treaty between Pieter Retief and Dingaan, by which Dingaan ceded substantial land to Retief, signed on the 4 February 1838.
Underneath the text of the Treaty is a certificate in Dutch, to the effect that the Treaty was found on the 21 December 1838 in a leather satchel near the bones of Retief, and it is signed by E. Potgieter. The text of the Treaty has been translated into English, and both, the Treaty as well as the certificate have been pasted on a board. Research has uncovered that a number of such replicas of the Treaty have been made.
