"Report of a Journey made by Missionary Marquart in Fante, Kotoku and West Akim"

He travelled Accra-Okurease-Asiemang along a route much used by Kotoku traders. It was difficult to find lodging in Okurease because of the number of people resting the overnight. He had a discussion with a fetish priest in Okurease. En route from Okurease to Asiemang they passed through a small farming village belonging to the Asiamang chief who was destooled and driven on it in the previous year. The people had never heard Christian preaching. The Christians in Asiamang made a good impression. He also visited the Queen mother, an ordinary looking old lady, and when he asked an elder of the town why they had chosen such a person, the elder replied 'So we are more powerful ourselves*. Asiamang looked a notable, if not beautiful town.
