Condition: New. SB 85pp This medal, which was issued in silver only, was instituted in 1881.Almost all of these medals were issued with one or more clasps, only about 10 being issued unclasped.The reverse design shows the arms of Cape Colony.Some 5,200 were issued in all for three risings, each commemorated by a clasp.That for 'Transkei', the rarest of the three, was awarded for operations during a small rising in Tembuland and Griqualand East in 1880-81.The clasp for 'Basutoland' was awarded for service in the more extensive operations in that area, several major engagements taking place. The last clasp, that for 'Bechuanaland', was awarded, after a lapse of 16 years from the first two clasps, for an uprising amongst several tribes.The fighting took place in 1896-97, and it was only by the employment of considerable forces that the natives were defeated.It is worth noting that, apart from 15 British troops, all the awards of this medal were to colonial units, many of which were small.The total issue for each clasp is approximately: 'Transkei'- 1,070; 'Basutoland' - 2,150; Bechuanaland'' - 2,580. Only 23 medals were issued with all three clasps and medals with two clasps are very scarce.The naming is in thin, faint block capitals, and the ribbon is of dark blue with a central yellow stripe.

Highlights from American Greats (from the rear outer cover): "It remains what it was, the greatest of bridges, the Brooklyn Bridge, made in America, its appeal defying time, a symbol now no less than ever of brave work nobly done." - David McCullough on the Brooklyn Bridge. "There is only one Chez Panisse. In this age of multiple restaurants it has no clones in London, Las Vegas, or Tokyo. Because Alice Waters has more than money on her mind." - Ruth Reichl on Chez Panisse. "Duke Ellington liked to claim he won his job at the Cotton Club, in December 1927, because he showed up three hours late for the audition, as did the owner, who heard only Ellington and non of his rivals." - Gary Giddins on the Duke Ellington Orchestra. "They [the editors] had uncanny ears for a false note; they sometimes surprised you by accepting a daring or experimental piece; they manifested a cloistered virtue, in a fallen, hustling world, that made appearing anywhere else feel like a dangerous trespass." - John Updike on The New Yorker. "Our original goal was simple, and only in retrospect, revolutionary: to use television to help children learn. We knew young children watched a great deal of television in the years before they went to school. We also knew they liked cartoons, game shows, and situation comedies; that they responded to slapstick humor, music with a beat, and above all - sadly - fast-paced, oft-repeated commercials." - Joan Ganz Cooney on Sesame Street. "So here I was, my anxiety over the flight spilling all over Danny DeVito, my fears at the time very real. Danny responded, 'Look there's no way you're going to crash because I am the LUCKIEST MAN ALIVE, and since I need you to do this work with me when you come back, there is no way you don't make it back.' 'Great,' I said. 'I can just picture it; the plane is on fire and as we crash I'm screaming, "Ha, ha Danny. Your luck has run out.' " - James L. Brooks on television situation comedy. "What made the Wright brothers' successful early experiments so remarkable is that neither had any academic education in physics. They were entirely self-taught. The difference between them and other small town entrepreneurs was they had a genius for learning, and for identifying new problems to solve." - John Keegan on the Wright Brothers. "West Point has always seemed to me to be unusually close to Main Street in Middle America; it is a place without glitz, which without consciously trying, reflects both the norm, the center, and the diversity of America. Again and again it turns out good people of significant personal modesty and a powerful sense of obligation." - David Halberstam on West Point.…
