Murray Macdougal and the Story of Triangle (Signed)

Murray MacDougall and the Story of Triangle by Colin Saunders is a 68-page softcover book published in 1977 by Triangle Limited. It provides an insightful account of the development of the sugar industry in Rhodesia, centered on the pioneering work of Murray MacDougall. The book includes several appendices that detail the Murray MacDougall Museum, the Murray MacDougall School, and the Murray MacDougall Scholarships. The foreword is written by T.E.S.G. Goss, then Executive Chairman of Triangle Limited.

The Murray MacDougall Museum, located on Mac’s Hill, was officially opened in March 1976 by C.J. Saunders, Chairman of Triangle Limited. The museum commemorates MacDougall’s engineering achievements in irrigation, including the Jatala Weir and Tunnels, which have since been declared National Monuments. The museum complex also includes the Murray MacDougall School, founded in 1961 to provide education to the children of estate workers.

This publication stands as a valuable piece of Rhodesiana, preserving the legacy of a man whose vision and ingenuity played a vital role in shaping the region’s agricultural and industrial landscape.
