Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 21.10.1890 Proper date: 21.10.1890 Description An account of the resource This is a translation of a Twi report of Philip Kwabi's dated 5 June 1890 on his work in Asante Akyem. He had been preaching in 32 Asante Aykem and 7 Kumawu villages. In Asankara on his way from Mpraeso to Bompata (on first going into the area to preach) he had preached to the people about the true freedom for poor sinners which is to be found in Christ, and the way to find it. In Bompata on the first Sunday he preached twice on the street, and the chief and his elders and the young people all listened attentively. Furthermore, the young men and the sub-chief Ata (with whom Kwabi lodged) were really enthusiastic. .The chief himself is more cautious. Kwabi asked him once why he did not love the gospel, and he replied 'It is not that I have no joy in what you are saying. But I have to attend to the good of the whole district. If I arrange for you to settle here and good comes out of the arrangement, what more could Ihave done? It is not that I do not love the word of God.' Kwabi remarks, however, that this is all a lie: he is afraid that his slaves will seize their freedom and no longer obey him if a teacher settles here. Reporting a long trek: Kwabi travelled Wankyi-Moso-Patriensa (in Amanfo Yaw Sapong is building a new town) Konongo-Odumase-Konongo. On this second visit to Konongo Kwabi met the chief Gyamebiri, a brother of Yaw Sapong, who said 'You know that we are under Koforidua and that there are already teachers and preachers there who will come to us in good time. My town is not big enough to have, teachers from different missionary societies. I understand what you say, and know that you fear us because of the troubled in Akyem'. Dwaso, where he had to wait till evening to meet chief and people, everyone was out working on their farms. The chief said they would be interested in the Mission if Yaw Sapong allowed this, they were the slaves of Yaw Sapong. Obogu, where again it was evening before people returned to the village, they were not attentive when he preached, and refused to respond to his advances about mission work, saying their chief was absent, and without him they could not say anything. Dampon Asuboa (where they said it would be no use unless a teacher settled there with them), Asankore and Bompata. He also travelled to Kumawu and Agogo. The replies he got to his questions mostly followed the line that the mission should begin work in Kumasi. If they gave permission for mission work on their own authority, they would find themselves having trouble with Nsuta and Dwabeng. The Agogo chief was the exception; he would not even allow preaching, and Kwabi opines that he still holds to ritual murder, and fears he would lose his slaves if mission work started. Müller continues with a summary of Kwabi’s report of 5 August 1890 on the subject of where in Asante Akyem it would be most suitable to centre mission work. Kwabi made a short list of possible centres from which Mission work in Asante-Akyem could be carried on: Bompata, Dwansa, Dome and Kyekyebisa. Bompata and Dwansa he selects as the most centrally placed of these two. Bompata is a good place from which to reach Asankara, Asuboi, Dampong, Wankyi Mooso, Krofual and all the other places in the direction of Obogu and Odumase. The chiefs in all these places allow to preach, but the chief of Bompata wants to know nothing about the gospel because he wants to put himself under Kumase again. His people and the sub-chiefs are against this. The chief of Adomfe would welcome a Basel Mission settlemnt in his town, and so would his people. There is a fetish priest in Adomfe, however, Kwame Pong, who exercises the same powers as Bowi extorting money from people, and having them killed. Dwansa is a good place from which to serve Krofua, Kykyebiase, Dome, Anisua, Anyabeneponase, Wiawso, Agogo, Patriensa. In Krofua the people are upset that it has been so long since the mission made a promise to them (probably to have someone posted in Asante-Akyem). Amponsa, Agogohene, forbade Kwabi to preach in his town. Ramseyer had urged him to preach there, however, so he preached nevertheless, although the number of people listening turned out to be not so large as previously. Amponsa ought to welcome him with real joy, because it was the mission who helped him when he was surrounded by Asante Akyems threatening to destroy his state, and arranged peace. The small population in Agogo would be happy if the mission placed a teacher there: They even promised him free lodging till a new house was built for him. Kumawu, Kwamang, and Bepow are all under King Prempeh in Kumasi. The people in each town listened with real attention to his sermon. But they are worried about being punished by the Asantehene because of this. The chief at Bepow would not allow him to preach a second time. On the grounds that he could not be punished for listening to a first sermon, having never heard the message, but a second sermon could be really dangerous. He and the other chiefs urged that things should be done in an orderly way, and that the mission should arrange things with Kumasi: this message should be passed on to Kwabi's superior and they would heed it ‘if they mean well by us'. Kwabi remarks that he shared the same opinion they should try again in Kumasi since the Abetifi station has awakened great jealousy on the part of the Asantehene. Kwabi continues that if they are to try again in Kumasi it should be with someone other than Ramseyer, since everyone believes he is responsible for the destruction of the city by the English. 'It's the same the whole world over - no-one will admit his own mistakes, and everyone feels someone else is to blame'. 'The disadvantage in moving forward into Asante Akyem is that the Asantes are continuously planning to bring Asante Akyem under subjection again - at the moment Asante is planning an invasion in the area on the other side of the Tano in order to bring back tribes which have taken refuge in the Protectorate. Ramseyer adds the remark that the Kwahus also thought he as a town-destroyer once, but know better now, and peoples' minds can be changed. Kwabi makes the following comments on Odumase. They would like a teacher and listened very carefully to his preaching. But Yaw Sarpong will not let them 'He loves darkness' and fears with a teacher in Odumase the Governor would hear of his activities. Muller himself adds two comments. On Kwabi’s posting to Adukrom Samuel Boateng went to Kwahu to take his place, and is not at all happy at being supposed to work in Asante Akyem. Müller wonders if Asante Akyem should be treated as a single mission area with Kotoku. But thinks that this would be a mistake since the direct route goes through the very difficult country of the Pra valley, and the practicable route from the Kotoku area goes along the Saltpond/CapeCoast-Kumasi road, which is outside the Basel Mission area.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 03.06.1868 Proper date: 03.06.1868 Description An account of the resource He reports that the steep hill you climb on leaving Ahabante is called Kyatamya by the Ga-people. Koforidua is a small village, and deliberately built poorly, since a bigger settlement would attract the jealousy of the neighbouring tribes and cause border troubles. In Koforidua they were brought water to drink in a snail shell - he remarks that such large snails are an important food source in Akim, and that there was hardly anyone in Koforidua since everyone was out catching snails. The smoked snails are exported to Akwapim. Poultry is – as in Accra and Akwapim -- imported from the lower Volta. The grasscutter is much eaten, and dogs which Müller reports are imported into Akim for this purpose. Other forms of game are killed and eaten - Müller mentions a type of buffalo, though these are not much shot partly because it is dangerous, and partly because a man who has shot one is taunted. From their forests the Akims export gummi-copal and what is called 'Guinea grain' - a seed like laudanum, which is sold in Accra and Cape Coast and exported to Europe, though it fetches lower prices than East Indian laudanum in Europe (NB the gummi-copal he writes is exported chiefly to the USA where they pay very high prices for it). The route he describes is narrow, root ridden etc. They met no people between Koforidua and Kukurantumi, and no people between Kukurantumi and Asafo. The population centres which impressed them were the circle of villages around Kibi, and that around Asiakwa. He makes an estimate of populations based on the number of weapons in each town: Kukurantumi: alone 150 guns, including the surrounding district up to 3-4 hours, 340 guns. Kibi: alone 300 guns, including the surrounding district 850 guns. Asiakwa: alone 400 guns, including the surr. district 980 guns. Begoro, 700 guns Asiaman, 600 guns Akyase, 800 guns Asuom, 200 guns. Multiplying this figure by 5 (the proportion used in calculations about Akwapim, Müller does not say by whom) and one gets a total population of 22,000. Other missionaries have estimted 25,000, others higher still - he feels that 20-25,000 is the right estimate. He has checked this against the poll-tax estimates which give 13,364 for Kibi-Akim, and 7,935 for Gyadam-Akim. Since then the Kibi people may have increased, the Gyadam people either scattered or migrated to the western district. The population as a whole has probably remained about the same. Müller uses these figures having judged that the lists provided by the mulatto poll-tax collectors were too detailed to be falsified - they gave themselves too much trouble to have been doing the job dishonestly. If missionary estimates for Akwapim and Krobo make the poll-tax figures of 13,000 and 15,000 respectively seem too low, Müller is not sure that they are not too optimistic - he himself does not know of any certain grounds for the missionaries' arriving at the figures they have offered. He felt that Akim houses and villages have a pleasing aspect - cleaner than those in Akwapim and on the coast, in the better houses with the interior of the walls and the floors plastered with a shining red clay. Under the roofs are decorations of lattice work, representations of animals, and the doors too are decorated. The finest house they saw was that belonging to the chief in Asiakwa. Overall the Akim people made a good impression on them. True they were met by some coarseness in Kibi and Kukurantumi, but in Tette and Asiakwa the whole town turned out for preaching, and they were all clothed. Müller asked about the latter and learned that they put their clothes on out of courtesy for their European visitors. He reckoned there was an element of hospitality in their all being present at the preaching - nevertheless one is not treated with such consideration in Akwapim or on the coast. Perhaps the Akims are not so used to Europeans. Müller also writes about the gold—diggings. He arrived at the best time to see them and found, near Kibi, a place which sounded like a fair through the forest as they approached it - 300-400 people at work. The surface of the earth was a yellow clay, it was the underlying grey clay which was being washed for the gold. He remarks that there is no co-operative work by which larger holes are made, nor is any attempt made to find and work the gold-bearing quartz. Though the earth is honey-combed with holes in some places people do not join them up and so exploit the gold-bearing clay which lies in between them. The washing he describes as being done in wooden bowls 2’ in diameter with a shallow inverted cone, actually under the surface of the Berem, at least in the early stages. The wood used was the same as that used for canoes. Nuggets of up to 30 ounces are found - indeed a Gyadam miner found a 60 ounce nugget in 1859. Müller gives the vision of the worth of nuggets as 1/3 shares to the Okyenhene, the elders, and the miner - no mention-of Eisenschmid’s 'owners. Gold is the currency in Akim, silver is now used a little, following the introduction of silver by the mission, but it is gold which has to be used to buy provisions. Describing the Kibi station Müller reports inter al that the community consists of 10 adults, 25 boys in the boarding school and 7 girls. The coffee plantation has 6-800 tress, and yielded 200 pounds weight at the last harvest. The 10 adults include only 6 local people, none of whom live on the station. In Kukurantumi the Christians have begun to make their own coffee plantations. In Kibi he saw the Sunday street preaching, a regular service in the open air. About 90 heathen were present, all dressed. When parties of non-Kibi Akims are in town then the numbers of onlookers may be as many as 200. The School he thinks is good, and it would be better to keep it so rather than extending it and reducing standards owing to their lack of competent catechists. To this report is added a subscript by Missionary Schrenk, darted 10 July 1868. He clearly regards Kibi as a very good station, an ideal community.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 14.06.1881 Proper date: 14.06.1881 Description An account of the resource In a geographical introduction he remarks that though there are huge stretches of empty land in Akim, especially towards Kwahu and southwards towards the coast, there are frequent land disputes and if the neighbouring tribes encroach on Akim in any way - for example in snail collecting and hunting, then they must pay tribute. There are only 10 settlements of over 1000 inhabitants, but about 100 settlements in all, many only small hamlets. At present about half these can be reached on preaching tours. He writes forcefully about the difficulty of penetrating through the forest - many settlements are closely hemmed in by forest, others are surrounded by a low bush which is still difficult to penetrate. 'Their main business is, not trading, but digging for gold'. He remarks how filthy the job is, a mason (making swish) has a much preferable task. He also says that the most rewarding tracts are often reserved by the chiefs or fetish priests. 'It is characteristic of the Akim that have never been approached for advice as to how to be holy, but only for advise as to how to get water out of their diggings easily'. They are not concerned whether they sleep on the ground, or on a mat, or on a simple bed. 'But at present many Akims come to Akwapim and buy oil, and with the profits which they get from taking the oil to the merchants they buy salt and tobacco and cloth and take them into the interior.' At times they come in large numbers with loads of dried: snail and trade these in Akwapim. Apart from Asantes and Akims Mohammedans come through this district (Aburi) in small groups. Beginning to describe his actual journey he reports joining the Akim route at Mampong, descending from Mampong at the bottom of the hill passed for several hours through magnificent palm-farms before leading into the forest. They spent the first night in Koforidua and the next morning passed through several Juaben villages before arriving in Kukurantumi. Kukurantumi - You enter the Christian village directly after leaving the forest. There are 15 compounds, about 40-50 huts. Koranteng he describes as a proved servant of the mission, and stresses his promotion of an orderly Christian life in the village, and his building of the new chapel. The teacher he names as J. Asumeng. Ewi he merely says should be working among the heathen of the vicinity. The school has only 11 pupils. In his examination Müller found arithmetic bad. The teacher's wife has been many months in Akmapim. He went from house to house in the community greeting the people and was very pleased with what he saw - tidy clean houses, and it seems they live together peaceably. Several were absent carrying oil from Akmapim to the coast in order to earn some money. The community consists of people have come together from all parts of Akim and Asante. In Kukurantumi town, he heard later, 10 fetish priests had gathered for the obsequies of a dead fetish priest, though he had been poor and almost destitute. Asiakwa - he went from Kukurantumi to Asiakwa via Mmase and Anyinasing, the path being so bad he had to walk the whole-distance. Everything is in its early stages in the Asiakwa community. Mullings and the Christians live in the town still - an odum tree which they had prepared for its final felling was blown by a storm onto the half-built house prepared for Mullings. The site of the Salem is much threatened by such trees, and since it is near a fetish-site the local heathens are deriding the Christians about what had happened. There are few families in the community, most of the Christians are young people. Müller considered it urgent that they form a Christian village as had been done in Kibi, but this would be difficult in a place where the crown of the forest was 120' up. The service was well attended, but catechising showed how on its beginnings everything was, and the pupils in the school also had far to go. 'I stressed to Deacon Mullings that the young people should learn to read. Whether this can be achieved is questionable, however. One would do much better to require some knowledge of reading before baptism, and proceed more slowly to baptism. This would be good policy especially where the catechist is new to his job and possesses little authority. Mullings is industrious and willing and exerts himself, but not consistent and unnexperienced. At the moment everything is at a stand-still in Asiakwa. Kibi - In Tete he found little hunger for the ward, but the local Christians have contributed to that situation their obnoxious conduct. To the school he must give the credit of being a place where the teachers have worked ably, and brought about a happy state of affairs. 'The fresh and happy life of the pupils and their prompt answers were very cheering.' Of course with only four classes and 40 pupils (6 of them actually resident in the school) the pupils-teacher ratio is much better than in Akwapim. They could do without Anoba, for example, or the youngest teacher in the girls' school. He is worried by the way the teachers have departed from the set syllabuses, however, and wonders if this is not the cause of their rate of losing pupils (his examples of topics taught out of turn not noted, except it involved the most junior teacher teaching through dictation of notes and the pupils learning such notes by heart; the actual loss rate is not stated). The community gives a very good impression - one seldom has a sense that God is acting in the hearts of his people as one has it in a service in Kibi. The town, by contrast, is in a poor shape. Even the palace will have to be repaired soon if it is not to become a ruin. Quite a few people came to the street preaching, but their preoccupation with their king being in prison drives away any other thoughts. Date receives high praise - industrious, humble, true servant of God, spends much time talking to people, especially among the heathen, by whom he is known and respected. He asked especially that church-tax should not be raised in Akim - all the members regularly contribute 1/2d every Sunday. Apedwa - the place where the king's wives etc. have gone since his imprisonment. Though there has been opposition to preaching Müller and Date were able to preach without hindrance, even in one of the villages where a funeral custom was in progress, an elder asking an obstreperous drummer to keep quiet. Of the four Christians they met only one: no progress is being made by this small group in clearing the mission land. Apapam - over 50 in the community, with 10 pupils in the school, all of Christian families. Apapam he estimates has 100 families in all. The mission land is partly cleared and some of the families live there already. The tiny chapel - 'stock'-walls and palm-leaf roof, a few windows openings - is right in the middle of the street at the entrance to the village. It is an answer to a 'gambling house' (Spielhaus) set up by the heathen, in the centre of the village with shingle roof and a flag-staff. You often see such a 'Spielhaus" in an Akim settlement. Tumfa - Teacher Okanta once more without his wife who had returned to her family in Akwapim for her confinement. There is only one family in the community - they are already on the mission land. A group of young men and women have already lapsed back into traditional practices. A rich man has been causing the Christians much trouble in Tumfa. Abomosu - 6 Christian families on mission land, some Christians still live in the town. A temporary chapel has been built in the middle of the path at the entrance to the town. The building of the deacon's house had been at a standstill since Date's departure. Presbyter Abraham complained that this was because of the unruliness of the community, so Miller asked each member if they were willing to obey the Presbyter and each answered 'yes'. He promised them a teacher as soon as the work was finished. Abomosu Müller reckons at 500-600 inhabitants. Asunafo - 40 in the community, some fallen away individuals holding up further progress by setting the village against Christianity. Part of the community lives on mission land. Kwabeng - met only three Christians, makes the point as with most of these new stations - that the catechist is very young, and found in street preaching that the people of the town were rather hostile.

Müller met one catechumen, and saw at once that he was a slave looking for his freedom - 'it often goes like this'. The chief was prepared to lead his people in attending Müller's street preaching. High praise for Imm. Baokye and Bosompem, but Müller remarks that the slave attitude causes unpleasantness. In particular there are a lot of separations between husband and wife. Bosompem's inherited stool was given to the missionaries. Two elders had to be sent to Asiamang where the Christians were being threatened with being driven off their land and out of their houses. The elders carried a threat that the case would go before the English courts if further trouble was caused. To the Kibi schools has been added a middle school. There are 45 pupils in the scholl of the community. On a visit to Tumfa he found the catechist in a house on mission land, another large house accommodated a family, and another small house had been built by a young man. Kola nuts grow in plenty around Tumfa, and the inhabitants take them off to Salaga. In Abomosu 12-15 families have settled on mission land, Abraham Bugyei having built himself a magnificent house with a shingle roof rather on the lines of a catechist's house in Akwapim. Müller stressed there - against widespread delinquency - the importance of regular attendance at service. In Kwabeng one of the carriers asked to take part in street preaching. It turned out that he had been sold by the Asantes to someone in Kwabeng before he went to Kukurantumi and became a Christian.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 25.06.1869 Proper date: 25.06.1869 Description An account of the resource Contains a copy of a letter of Chr. Rottmann‘s (Kata) dated 19th June 1869, addressed to Widmann in Akropong as Prases of the Gold Coast Mission. The uncertainty about the situation in Anum has developed into a relative but menacing certainty. This news has come to them in a letter from Chr. Rottmann dated 19th June — ‘...this afternoon messengers came from Anyako with the news that Br. Manfeld, and his sick wife, had arrived there from Waya, that the Ho missionaries had all fled with the exception of Hornberger and Müller: and that the Asante armies were on the attack. According to letters from Müller in Ho the Asantes were already in Pekyi on the 12th and were expected in Ho any day. Nothing is certain about Anum, except that if the Asantes are in Pekyi, one can be sure they have also occupied Anum. A letter also reports that, according, to the Awudomes, two Europeans have been seen in Asante hands, and these were probably the Anum missionaries. They hear that the Pekyis and Anums were terrified of the Asantes, and ran at the first battle, which would tend to confirm this news. This seems to have happened in Ho, where the above mentioned missionaries are quite alone with their local staff, the Ho people having apparently made no attempt at resistance. These reports are not, of course, certain, but very probably true.’ Walker adds that they have every ground to hope that the missionaries if not their property will be handled with indulgence, because six months ago the Asantehene, in gratitude for the missionaries' saving of an Asante at the hands of the Anums, is said to have assured one of the missionaries (Schönhuth) of his complete protection.
