Berichte über Reisen nach Salaga / Reports about journeys to Salaga
subject: [Archives catalogue]: Guides / Finding aids: Archives: D - Ghana: D-10 - Miscellaneous concerning Ghana in European languages: D-10.003 - Verschiedene Dokumenten zu Ghana III
description: Reports from David Asante (German), Theophil Opoku (English) and F. Buss (German) on their journeys to Salaga], with a German translation of the report from Opoku (and a type-written transcript of Opoku's report, pp.33-40). Summary on Asante's report: The account was written down only at the express command of the Basel Missions Committee, and Asante says that he has done it as far as he is able from memory, and from his notebook. The inspiration for the journey was the idea that he might be able to purchase cows for milking in Salaga, now that the way to be Salaga through Kwahu was open. He could however get no-one to go, since everyone was afraid of robbers, elephants, lions, leopards etc. He was troubled about how to raise the money, however, and eventually took goods on credits to the value of £20. As provision he took only 2 tins of chocolate, as medicine some quinine, and a bottle of Cognac. The Abetifi brothers also gave him some maize and groundnuts, and he had several loaves of landbread made. He set out with several of the Kibi Christians and reached Abetifi in three days where he rested. He was almost brought to turn back, but could not for shame. He got very tired having no hammock bearers, however. 24th January he travelled from Abetifi to Nkwatanang, the last Kwahu village. (4 hours journey begun late in the day.) 25-30 January: From Nkwatanang to Aframso, and then across the uninhabited lands to Pae (Pai). The Afram is well known in the 'African world', but this cannot be on account of its beauty - it must be on account of its wealth of fishes. In the dry season one can cross the Afram in places on foot, but in order to make money the Kwahus have made the path cross the river at the deepest part, and it cost Asante and his party 1 ½ shillings to go over. On the other side of the Afram they saw no houses - the grasslands are like the Accra plains, though here and there the bushes are formed into little woods. It is well watered, and there are large qua…
