Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: July 1852 Proper date: July 1852 Description An account of the resource Comments on the celebrations when British rule was consolidated – a gathering of the important chiefs in Christiansborg. The King from Kibi was the most noble of them, and the richest the King of Akim (this and other material from Zimmermann on the new regime and its relation to the traditional states is to be found in Heidenbote 1853, pp 43ff.). His detachment marched into Osu in good order with their flags…preceded by drumers, followed by a man striking a hollow iron cup, followed by a detachment of soldiers, then a number of people carrying chests, footstools etc., then followed a high official in a palanquin ahead by an umbrella, then came the centre of the procession – surrounded by soldiers, the kings servants, among whom were the crier, the official who drove away the flies; with his horse-hair […] an adjutant carrying a curved sword with a golden hilt and at last the king himself high in his palanquin, shaded by two umbrellas, and the stool before him, with two great bells hanging from it. Behind him came huge 5' drums, hung with skulls (though these were covered up with cloth). All very well turned out, the drummers varying their tone between strong and weak strokes a greet deal. They marched to the Fort, saluted the Governor with a volley in which they must have spent 16-20 pounds of powder. The men responsible for each part of the King of Akim’s retinue each rode on another man, so that they could see well, end in the crowd it looked as if they were on horse backs. The king of Akim has strict control over his people....In state he sits on his stool, with two lines in front of him made up of his slaves, his weapon-carriers, and his small sons - anyone approaching him has to walk between these lines. Around him in the open air was drumming and dancing. The missionaries visit him, and gave him presents of an English bible with gold letters on the binding, an English spade and a hatchet. He received them in a friendly way, and attended a service once, when he was surprised to find the chapel packed full, and the service is carried on in two vernaculars. His attendants often came to services also, and other Akim people in Christiansborg. He had been to a Wesleyan school himself, and is very keen to have his sons (with Süss) learn English. He is still pressing for a mission station in his territory and Zimmermann comments that while missionaries retained his favour they would be very well protected, since he maintains discipline and order and is loved and respected by his people. NB: The Akim contingent at the ceremony was outnumbered by that from Akwapim, all the wing chiefs came from that state with their escorts, and altogether cannot have numbered less than 4500. In reporting on farming and gardening, he says that the missionaries have much enthusiasm for this....

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 01.01.1853 Proper date: 01.01.1853 Description An account of the resource First part is a Ga traditional account of the McCarthy war - Zimmermann says in the same sentence that he had it from the mouth of an elder (not specified) and implies that it is a popular history. It is certainly fairly crude. The cause is given as a quarrel between an Asante merchant and a woman selling salt fish in Cape Coast....she refusing to bargain with him and when he threatened to take her to Kumasi by force asking whether the Asantehene wanted buy salt fish....The point of all this is explained in an aside that at that time the Asantes had authority over the Gua (Oguaa) and Ga people. The women fled to the fort the man returned to Kumasi where Osei imprisoned him and executed him, having asked him why he had not got himself executed on Oguaa rather than returning home with shame. The account of the diplomacy and war has nothing very remarkable about it...the warning is given to McCarthy by an old woman, and the fante play no glamorous role, shouting to each other when the powder runs out and thus betraying the situation to the Asantes. There is a paragraph's account of a Christiansborg church member who believed himself poisoned….an Ayigbe ex-slave named Aioo who had evidently worked on the farms near Christiansborg, because for a time he fled back to his old slave companions: His particular fears are explained it as being connected with the fact that he had been ‘given’ to a fetish, hence his name. One of the missionaries found him no mention being made of a long journey being involved - also he is said to have been simply on one of the “Plantagen”.

Description An account of the resource In the section on preaching journeys a visit to Legon is mentioned (spelt this time Lego). The people had agreed to give up their fetish practices, to keep Sunday holy, listen to the Bible being read regularly. However, Stanger doubted the seriousness of all this and asked the pupil-teacher who was with him whether they would do all this...he said they would not. But says Stanger there are a few who are quite sincere. There are 5 1/2 pages of biographies of people who have been baptised, including 10 adult and adolescent men, and 2 adult/adol, women. The men include two Volta region slaves, one from Nyemfe in Crepe, the other Aiku (see the Zimmermann’s report No. 157) whose birthplace is given as Akutafe in Crepe. Both are youngish (25 and 17 years: old respectively)...they seem to have come into the mission's employment in the normal course of events as far as they were concerned being already working in the Accra area. Another man is a slave from Larte working for a Labadi master in the Labadi farm village of Oesirehantang. Also a shortish paragraph on the 8 boys confirmed in the second half of 1853.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: February 1853 Proper date: February 1853 Description An account of the resource Several people from Kumasi and Akim have visited him apparently to hear what he has to say about religion. Another visit to Lego - obviously in the Legon area, since it is described as the first farming village of any significance after leaving Osu. It has about 80 inhabitants. He took most of his pupils, and sent 4 in 2 groups of 2 to visit two small unnamed villages nearby. Stanger’s main objective was a family already known to the mission for several years, who have shown signs of wanting to be baptised. Both father and son have only one wife, and there are a lot of children – standing together they look like a row of organ pipes. The wives are interested too - but it all depends on the advice of the grandfather…later the whole village was visited, and gathered to listen to sermons by Stanger and two of his pupils under a large tree. A second visit en passant for the other plantation village is described, in which Stanger and his party spent the night in Legon. They held an evening service, and a conversation went on in one of the houses with Stanger and his pupils until midnight. On the way back to Osu they passed through Legon again, where his pupils were given permission by the inhabitants to destroy a Musu. A third visit is made to Legon (all within the space of eight weeks), again en route for the other plantation villages, this time especially Osirenantang where there were two candidates for baptism. This time Stanger says he visited two villages, both called Legon, and preached in both (He reports the application by a fetish priest from the plantation villages (not specified) for baptism - 17th December). Attached is a list of the members of the Osu station, again subdivided by sex and negro/mulatto, with some info on occupation.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 29.03.1853 Proper date: 29.03.1853 Description An account of the resource Includes an account of a journey to Akropong with his pupils, via Kwantanang (which he says he has visited many times before, sometimes with his wife) and Amrahia, where a Peki Caravan was resting. On the way back to Osu passed through Legon, and was impressed by the wholehearted welcome of the people. He interprets Legon as meaning 'wide hill' with no further comment. Sang has asked to be baptised along with his wife and 11 children. (He is the chief of the village). The street fetish which the people allowed Stanger's pupils to destroy has stayed destroyed.... Unfortunately Sang is proving, somewhat lukewarm. On this journey , Zimmermann and his family stayed 8 days in Abokobi, working in the surrounding villages. Both in this report and in Stanger’s (No. 167), it appears that a campaign has been opened to get fetishes destroyed as a preparation for more directly encouraging people to become catechumens.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 07.10.1853 Proper date: 07.10.1853 Description An account of the resource Gives a detailed account of the villages visited in an extend preaching tour of the Accra plains in order to demonstrate to the Committee the populousness of the area....he offers the estimate that in the quadrilateral R. Sakumo – Akwapim hills - Volta - Sea slightly less than 1000 villages and towns are to be found with scarcely less than 80’000 inhabitants. He certainly reports more villages than has been done before and for many offers an interpretation of the site name based on the idea that it had a twi origin. Kwantanang - a village serving the La fetish – is mentioned as having been visited on the outward and homeward journey. No mention is made of Legon. The Kwantanang people welcomed the visit, and asked for a, school to be run in their vil1age…people came forward as baptismal candidates. From Kwabenya they walked one hour to Tefia, then passed Asiye to Amrahia, from where they visited the nearby Kpetekpong, a Tema village. From there they travelled through Nanyo-Akrowa and Odomiabra to the Nungua twin-village of Sasabi. From Sasabi through a district dotted with little villages to the bigger villages of Suta and Blofonyo Mang (Friedrichstelle), which belong to Prampram. From there through Asrema to Kwabinya, another Prampram village. They stayed the night in Santse, one hour from Kwabinya, the village of the Osu prince Fred. Dawuna. Santse and its chief are described…Dawuna had been brought up in Denmark and baptised there, and travelled out to the Gold Coast with Henke and the other early missionaries having stayed for a month in the Brüdergemeinde at Zeist, where he felt a strong call back to his home country. On the Coast he had served as interpreter and schoolteacher both to the missionaries and the Fort, but soon seemed to be lapsing from the christian religion. However, when after several years the people wanted him to be the king he refused so as not to mock God by being involved in the service of fetishes…for that he was despise as far as Zimmermann could see out of his unpleasant situation he cause to found the villages of Santse by the Larte hills (Lateburg) 3 hours from Akropong, lying between the Ningo and Shai villages. He made it a village of refuge for runaway slaves and others in destitution or outlawed, ‘so that now it is a nice village'. His buildings are like those of large European farm houses, so that one sees he knows how to apply European techniques to use here. Now there is pressure to make him king again, but he has set the conditions that he must not serve the fetish, and be able to wear European clothes. Zimmermann does not know whether these negotiations have come to any conclusion. The village is in a magnificent situation, one hour from Larteh, Osu to the SSW, Akropong NNW Sai SE Krobo NE Ningo SSE Prampram S by E, and Pong S. Zimmermann is impressed by the agriculture…He also visited the Nungua villages in the district, where although the people spoke Adangbe he was able to converse with them. Zimmermann travelled back by the same route, pointing out that in the whole journey he had only crossed one stream between Santse and Kwabinya which reaches the sea at Pong where it is called Elaoe, but where Zimmermann was its name is Siako. Other villages named on this return are Oyarefa, and Damfa, where there are some recently baptised christiand who were visited by 3 of Zimmermann’s pupils. The latter belongs to old Afutu in Teshi, several of whose family have been baptised. Zimmermann also seems to have travelled from Krobofa (or Asadwale) to Ata (a 20 hour day) passing through a large number of villages and visiting Osudoku. The report also includes a discussion of the vocabulary of names fpr gods and priests in Ga, including a short account of Ga monotheism, and an equation between gbaloi and prophet (or prophet with nkunialoi). In a short discussion of some aspects of morality he says the commandment “Honour thy Father and Mother” is the fundamental instruction of all indigenous political ethics.

(This is on a full list of the buildings and personnel of the station. Stanger’s report seems unusually formal and full, and there is a list of the wages paid to the indigenous teachers and linguists). In his account of the half year’s work he describes an extension of their regular visiting commitments to include Labadi, Teshi and Abokobi - if not by the missionaries then by one of the senior and responsible local people at Osu. Stanger’s report on Obobi is that he is more thorough than Lomote (one of his contemporaries), more dependent in character, and more intelligent. He makes the missionaries often anxious, and must change before he becomes a blessing to them (no further details). There is the usual note on new catechumens/catechists, including a paragraph on the baptism of the six sons of Afutu in Teshi, and a paragraph on Imm. Kwabela, the converted fetish priest. The latter is a Labadi man, who lives in the village of Adan close to Abokobi. Aged about 35 years. He was one of the worst fetish priests and widely feared. Baptism delayed a long time because of his unwillingness to recognise his sins. In the end he underwent a thorough change and wanted no longer to be publicly baptised. Since his baptism he has been working busily to earn his own living. There is also a list of the members of the community.

Description An account of the resource Reports the first visit by a Basel missionary to the Accra farming villages NW of Osu. The first one of any note is 8 hours away and that is probably the most important, Abodo. A visit by a missionary to these villages is apparently rare since the Wesleyans do not come to the farming villages much. The next day he passed 6 Accra farming villages before he reached Osu villages en route for Abokobi (Legon not mentioned by name once more). The house at Abokobi has been severly damaged by white ants in recent months. The farming villages are deserted because of the conflict with the British.
