Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 01.04.1857 Proper date: 01.04.1857 Description An account of the resource The Mission has set him the problem of advising alternative possible stations in Akim if Gyadam becomes impossible to hold. They suggest Kibi or Koforidua. Baum comments: Kibi is no healthier than Gyadam. Koforidua has at most 20 families living there, but very isolated - apart from one village ¾ hour inland with 6 families there is nothing but 6 hours of forest before you come to Kukurantumi. Kukurantumi is again rather a small village – the only thing to be said in favour of either of either these two is that they are on the main footpath, but if there were to be a station on this path it would be better placed at Taro, where again only about 60 families live, although it is a neat village, and has a friendly chief. ¾ of an hour further inland there is another village, but this is an unfriendly one dominated by fetish practices. The problem with all of these is that they are in King Atta’s area, and he is already annoyed at the Mission’s going to Gyadam. He would probably only want a station in his capital, and would have the power to enforce this wish. Begoro is another place which should be considered. Baum has recently visited there, and reckons that since it is higher it would be healthier. It is not quite as large as Gyadam, and there are not so many nearby villages. In Gyadam at the moment relations with their king are good. The mission now has, for 50 Thaler extra-payment taken over the whole stretch of land over towards the river Birim. A project to obtain land on a nearby hill was negative because the hill was a fetish land. There are still no boundary posts, however. The second quarter of the letter is given to further discussion of the troubles of mid-1856. There are some vivid glimpses of an enraged Agyeman – at one point Baum writes that the Cape Coast prince had to intervene when Agyeman was threatening to assault Süss. He also says that he and Süss were specifically forbidden to go and settle elsewhere in Agyeman’s land, and that more than once it was said that if Süss went then the king would have a good house. The latter part of the letter is a list of 12 things necessary for the development of the station: 1. A wife — to take care of the mission house, and look after the man. At present one of the men has to look after the cooking, and of course the local women do not know anything about sewing. If like Frau Mohr in Akropong he knew something about midwifery she would be very welcome in Gyadam also. 2. Permission to buy certain stores to replace those which have gone mouldy in Gyadam (20 pounds rice, 6 pounds lard, 3 sesters of Welschkorn). In view of the difficulties he advises that each brother should be allowed 200 Thalers ‘for this year’. He also says so far no corn has ripened in Gyadam. 3. Permission to build a solid house 4. Permission to build a chapel/school. 5. Permission to bring in cows for meat and milk – since in Akim cows are left to go about in herds 6. A horse. Baum cannot get people to carry him 7. A press for oil and fruit juices 8. A footwinch for sawing 9. Permission for furniture 10. School materials 11. Certain tools 12. Quinine He also asks for certain things which are not necessary but which would be very useful – a small table bell, a bell for the outside of his house, and a bell for the chapel, and baptism and communion furniture.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 14.07.1857 Proper date: 14.07.1857 Description An account of the resource In describing the difficulties involved in getting people to act as carriers in the expedition with the two new brothers from Christiansborg to Gyadam, Baum says he had his two people with him. On arriving in Gyadam they found that a new house which someone had promised to complete was not completed, and still has not been finished – Baum complains that he has only been working with three men on the fields. He also experienced considerable problems buying building materials and arranging payments (inflated rumours of) are quoted to him. One interesting incident occurred when he needed bundles of palm leaves for thatching, and when this was known a group of about 20 men came and offered to bring some for him, at 24 Kreuzer. Normal price 6 Kreuzer. Baum refused - and a few days later was able to buy some at the proper price from a slave, to whom after they had agreed on 6 Kreuzer, he in fact paid 12. Baum preached it twi for the first time on April 26th. And he discusses the problem of preaching a little: It has to be quite unlike preaching at home (he implies a simplicity of structure by listing the sermon-designs common in Europe which you leave on one side in mission work). First you say what God is, because as far as he can see when he has talked about God in the past people have thought of the clouds in the sky. Even the two boys whom Süss gave catechumenal instructions to, and two mulatto boys from Osu who had baptised parents seem to think of God in this way. Baum also recites an incident in which a man had recently wished to seem pious, and he told him that he had been praying to God for gold. Baum asked him where God was and he pointed upwards. Baum then suggested to him that eternal treasure for the soul were more to be sought after, and that in this context gold was a “Nichtigkeit” (nullity), the man laughed and quoted a proverb to him. “Look up at the top of the trees, and you will see the vultures”. As a comment he offered the aphorism that for the Akims, gold is their god – the belly is inappropriate in this case because they do not eat as well as Europeans, and apparently do not regret their diet much – he reckons he had heard a proverb which goes “Better an empty belly than a tired arm”. Baum reckons local people do not really pray – he had asked his people about this and they say that people pray for health. He had asked his people if they pray themselves, and though they said “Yes”, they wouldn't tell him anymore. He is clearly preaching not simply in Gyadam, but in the surrounding villages - his audience’s number 10-50, though once in an afternoon he could not get anyone to listen in one village, although people were sitting around in the street. It is not done, however, for elders to stand around in the street, so that unless, as in one case mentioned, Baum preached near where a group of elders was sitting, it was unlikely that his audiences included people of this rank. Baum does mention one elder who stayed within earshot one day – his son visits him a great deal (In the discussion of this point Baum mentions that while before the breakdown in re1ations between mission and chief Agyeman came to visit them often, his successor came seldom). At p 10 of the letter he gives an account of the labour force on the station: (i) There is a man and his wife who have a debt of 32 Thalers which –they are paying off by working for the mission for 6 years. (ii) There is a man with a debt of 37 Thalers - he has brought his sister, and together they are working and praying off (1/2 or 1 Thaler each month) (iii) Another man with a debt of 25 Thalers. (iv) Three boys from Osu whose father and his youngest uncle together owe Baum 20 Thaler Süss had the system of boarding these people at the Mission station, but since the crowding at the station resulting from the coming of more missionaries Baum has been saying them only their monthly wages, and sending them into the town to sleep, though this cannot last long because of the bad influence the town will have on them. The monthly wages for the man and his wife are 4 Fr. 40. Baum says he needs more labour, but he has little desire to buy slaves. He has morning prayers at dawn for the people now in the station, and the whole labour force comes evening prayers after work. Baum also reports a case of a Fante who cohabited with one of the king’s wives - for over a year he has been chained to the block and she is allowed to go about with her feet chained together, The man’s fine is 68 Thaler, and since the price of a slave is only 30-36 Thaler he cannot raise the money. A message has come from the new governor that that the king may execute him if he wishes, but nothing has happened so far. Baum remarks that the king has 39 wives – they do not live in his house, but in the town, and while the oldest is 60 years old, the king usually takes a new young girl each year. (Subscripts from 22 and 26 July). Baum discussed news concerning crime and the English government. Atta at Kibi has just executed a man believed to be guilty of the death of his (the king’s) mother 18 months before. Baum obviously puts some trust in the rumour that Atta has altogether put 30 people to death on his count, although when he visited Kibi in may he met a teacher sent there by the governor with whom he discussed the rumour, who said that Atta could possibly not have done this (Baum also reports a rumour that the teacher had left Kibi and returned to Cape Coast out of fear). Ada’s twin brother is said to have left Kibi and settled in one of the Accra villages where he is seizing Akim people to sell them, this on account of pique (according to Baum) that he had not been chosen king by the people. Baum himself was asked to read a proclamation to Agyemang from the British government. This reported some ritual child murder in Akim, and recited the punishments meted out to the guilty chief, stated that life was given by God and could only be taken away by lawful authority, and forbids anyone enforcing the death penalty other than the Governor. Baum is sceptical about this – the proclamation is to be made known to everyone under British rule, but no Akim man could read it. Agyeman said that it brought him to money or clothes, so he was not impressed and said no-one should be told about it. Baum also comments that the Akim people like the British in the same way as the Jews liked the Romans. Baum also raises problems about slavery. He has in fact acquired a slave – the rumour about Atta’s twin brother has reduced Akim's trade to Accra, and he has had many slaves offered him for sale. He has bought one, a very strong man, for 28 1/2 Thaler; he comments that this is little money for a slave, and they need more people. The slave was told straight away on purchases that he would only have to work off the purchases price to be free, and he seemed to come into Baum’s possession willingly. A greater problem was presented by a woman slave who told Baum her master wanted her killed, and asked for baptism. In addition to the problem of what to do with a single dependent woman, what were the missionaries to do when someone sought refuge with them from the wrath of one of the kings? Furthermore, there was the problem that if the missionaries became known as a place of refuge, Baum thinks they would be overwhelmed with people the bulk of whom would not be grateful but think this was the missionaries’ duty.

The plantation was simply a mass of work needing to be done. In the intervals of fever he was involved in furniture making, using as a bench a stump left after some of Süss’ tree felling. He had trouble getting the tools which Süss had used fit for use again, since they had so rusted. He comments that one of the things which made Gyadam so unhealthy for the missionaries was the fact that their local employees wanted to work so little, and so work devolved onto the missionaries. He was living in Gyadam in a house with no door or windows, an old piece of wax-cloth has to serve. He reports youths coming out of Gyadam to attend evening prayers, and help with the building of the house and the chapel. He also reports that when he was being carried back to Akropong alone and very sick (by carriers who had been sent out by the Akropong station), the carriers wanted to take him by a route not usually followed, but shorter, which passed through Asante territory.

Announces the baptism of several people on Christmas Day. (1.) A man in his early 30s who had got keep into debt in trade, but had been working to pay off the debts and has now done so. Old name Mensa, new name Donyame Saneeki (which Süss explains in German would be Gottlob Wendeum). In his period of instruction he had at first taken up the attitude of the pharisee. (ii) The second is slave belonging, to a mulatto merchant called Hesse. His original name Dinipanim, his new name chosen for him by his master Joseph Hesse, 20-25 years old. (iii) A youth of 20 years from Gyadam, the son of an elder, old name Kwabena Boki, new Asemode Krongkrong. Süss builds up a picture of a light-hearted chattering character given to idleness, and hard to convince that these characteristics were wrong. Somewhat to Süss’ surprise he has stayed the course of instruction, and a wait while Süss was away and returned. (iv) Süss’ servant, a boy of about 12-15 years, an ex-slave bought free by Süss whose actual home Angwa several days journey to the east of Peki. One aspect of Süss’ baptismal instructions was to forbid him from disputing too much, on the grounds that when his character was changed then it would be safe to free his mouth (Süss says that he had a very attractive way with people).

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 31.05.1858 Proper date: 31.05.1858 Description An account of the resource First night at Bewase an Akropong village where the people were not very friendly. Second night Kofridua, the first Akim village, a hunting settlement. On the third day’s journey he made a mistake and was going along the path back to Kofridua when he met the third missionary. Zimmermann also says that judging by their faces the people of Osiem are not Akims. (Kromer) and his carriers who had been about ½ hour behind. (Süss was the other missionary on the expedition, it was indeed his idea). Kukurantumi overnight – a friendly little town. Süss next morning conducted a service at which they were 50-60 hearers. First he spoke some twi sentences then he translated John 3vv1-9 into twi from his Greek testament, and repeated the passage. Then he preached in a very practical way, in fact it was mid-way between preaching and catechising. Then they sang a verse, and said a prayer, and the service was over. Zimmermann was obviously impressed by the easy way in which Süss conversed with the listeners in his 'sermon'. Then they went on to Tafo, a pretty little place, and through Osiem. This is a pottery village – and Zimmermann was impressed by the skill of the women without the traditional European aids. They also found in Osiem a carpenter who had made his own tools, with the exception of some saws. His plane blades were fashioned from cutless blades and he was making doors and shutters. From Osiem next day they travelled for five hours, only passing the small hunting village of Odumase before they came to Fankeneko. It was during this trek that they began to come across gold diggings. Gyadam impresses him considerable, he reckons he has not seen such a large town in West Africa, other than British and Dutch Accra, and perhaps Cape Coast. He has also never seen a more beautiful West African town - he is especially impressed by the 60' wide main street, set with shade trees. Perhaps on account of their positions the hilltowns of Krobo and Shai are more beautiful, and perhaps Dofo, Mlamfi, Agrafi and Ada on the Volta are comparable with it. He also thinks Agyeman’s house deserves the title “palace”, when compared with the other princely dwellings he has seen on the coast. To reach the king he had to go through elegant apartments which would have contained 100 people. At a street preaching which he saw there were 200 present, but scarcely any women. The Berem is wide and deep enough for canoes, there are fine silk cotton trees on the banks of the river for making canoes. The river flows from here to Ageman’s other capital, Swedru. At the conclusion of his account of his homeward journey which he describes briefly, Zimmermann sums up his knowledge and impression of Akim. On the south Akim marches with Ga and Fante, on the east with Akwapim, Krobo and Akwamu, on the north the boundary is the Afram, beyond which is the wilderness before you come to Donko land, west of the Afram Akim marches with Kwahu (described as a state dependent on Asante) and on the west with Fante. He is clearly impressed too by the contrast between his normal habitat on the Accra-lower Volta plains, and the forest lands of Akim. On p. 7 he offers the question of the effects on a people’s culture and development of always living in the shade of the huge trees (he reckons that in the whole of the journey from the Akwapim border to Gyadam there were only three places where one was free of the trees, Gyadam, Fankenenko, and a view point on a high hill on the border between Akwapim and Akim). Their diet certainly is almost entirely composed of flesh and plantains. There is no bread other than that made from plantains. Apart from Gyadam he saw only one other village belonging to Agyeman (and he had gone with Baum to one of the cluster of villages around Gyadam) – the 7 others belonging to Atta. The towns and villages are the most orderly (built) that he has ever seen, mostly because the houses are grouped along a highstreet with one or two alleys leadoing of it. Sheep and hens are plentiful, and there are some pigs, but no other domestic animals. Describing the old mission station in Gyadam (the missionaries had just been able to buy a nearby hill), Zimmermann says it is only a stone’s throw from Gyadam town. He offers a map on which (a) is a 'solid’ room of mud brick built by Süss and now on account of its smallness used for storage, (b) is a single storey house with two rooms and a veranda equipped with doors but no shutters, (c) three rooms similar, but without doors or shutters, (d) kitchen, washhouse, latrine, (e) Süss’ first house, now dilapidated, (f) stall for one pig, (g) goathouse, (h) sawhouse. The roofs made of Daha a type of palm thatching which is not satisfactory since it lasts only 2-3 years, and is difficult to obtain. Zimmermann suggests experimenting with forms of wood roof. They keep a good number of sheep, goats, hens and pigeons. They have only the most necessary furniture made in the local fashion. Provisions are dear, but easy to come by (local provisions clearly - he says the lack of bread is most felt, but they have got used to local substitutes). Zimmermann however thinks the mission should devote all its efforts to transferring to the new station on a 300-400' hill to the South-East of the town because although the present station is all right and well-laid-out, ithas proved itself unhealthy. On the hill with the winds to keep the place healthy only single storey houses would be necessary, there is water, and room for the christians to settle, which Abokobi has shown to be a decided advantage for the development of the church. But away from the town Gyadam badly needs craftsmen to raise the level of amenities on the station - at the moment the missionaries live at a lower level than the upper ranks of local people. (There is a map to illustrate this journey and the surrounding geography at Gyadam No 11).

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 26.01.1858 Proper date: 26.01.1858 Description An account of the resource Gives additional information over his movements after leaving Gyadam in 1856. Decided in Gyadam to settle in the Kofrodua district, primarily in order to carry on trading and farming. Many people would be able to settle there in time. The only problem in his mind was whether it was healthy there or not. In Akropong opinion was against the plan, and Zimmermann told him of the place which he did in the end settle, though at that state he held fast to the Kofrodua idea. In Accra conversations with Rottman and Locher and a visit to the mouth of the Sakumo did little to clear his ideas. It so happened that when visited Steinhauser at Abokobi, however, Steinhauser was just on the point of making a journey to Krobo, so Süss went along with him and found the place where he eventually settled.

There is a fetish prohibition against goats in the village which he broke. In Gyadam he was welcomed by Agyeman, and found a Kramo amulet-seller a hopeful sign in that it indicated that the people were losing faith in their local fetishes.

It concerns the death of Missionary Hönger at Gyadam. Additional material mostly concerns short-term practical questions concerned with the station. A particular problem is to find a carpenter to work in Gyadam. Even offering a wage 1/3 higher than that current in Christiansborg was not enough to tempt one to come to Gyadam.
