Nigeria and its Tin Fields" by Albert Frederick Calvert is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book primarily focuses on the discovery and development of tin mining in Northern Nigeria, detailing the significant economic changes that arose from the newfound mineral wealth of the region. It serves as an exploration of the historical context, commercial potential, and geopolitical importance of these tin deposits. The opening of the book introduces readers to the early misconceptions about Northern Nigeria, which was viewed negatively due to its challenging environment and turbulent history. Calvert discusses the early attempts to develop the region, focusing on the discovery of alluvial tin in Bauchi Province and the subsequent influx of interest from British companies. The text explains how this mineral wealth prompted a reevaluation of Northern Nigeria's potential, contrasting the area's past obscurity with its rising prominence in the eyes of investors and traders. Through rich historical detail and personal accounts from early explorers and businessmen, Calvert sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the evolution of the tin industry in Nigeria.
