Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 31.03.1860 Proper date: 31.03.1860 Description An account of the resource A letter from Haas has just arrived in Akropong which shows that the information about Agyeman's attack to Kibi forces is to be false. A Kibi attack has again been repulsed, and although Agyeman wanted to follow up their retreat, he was restrained because he did not want to attack them on their own territory, and also because the Okwamu people barred the way to him. He is also short of provisions and ammunition. The letter concludes with an account of the measures approved by the station conference at Akropong for the safety of the Gyadam missionaries. They are given full power at their own discretion if it becomes necessary to put themselves under Atta’s protection. They foresee a situation in which Agyeman will not allow them to evacuate themselves or a part of the station staff (specifically Mrs Haas).

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 02.05.1860 Proper date: 02.05.1860 Description An account of the resource The report is a more detailed account of the day-to-day events of March in Gyadam: much of it is printed as an appendix to the annual report for 1860 (p.134). Additional material in the manuscript includes the following: About 15 Gyadam women had been seized by the Kwahua en route for Swedru (they heard this on March 24th) 26th March – News came in that 12-15 people had been taken prisoner by Kibi forces on one of the Gyadam plantation villages. There is a more detail about the battle on 27th March also. One section of the Gyadam forces under Safohene Kwadjo Kokoroko was sent onto the Abomsu road to hinder the advance of the Abokrofo. The people from Mosease lay in the woods to the east of Gyadam. On the day when the Gyadam people left finally, one of the Christians came to bid farewell to the missionaries, and he was presented with a twi gospel for all the Christians, and promised to try to visit the Akropong station via Accra. About 12 foreigners had taken refuge on the mission station during the battle – people from Keta Accra Cape Coast, and Fante. The mission house near the town had been left unmolested for more than a fortnight by the soldierts of both sides. After sacking Gyadam, Atta took his forces to Moseamo and burnt it. Haas remarks that Moseamo was under the protection of the God Bosompra. A detachment was left in Gyadam under Diedu, Atta’s father in law. Atta went on to Asiakwa with the intention of attacking Agyeman again. The winding up of the station was difficult – people were hoping for plunder, and there was a rumour about that the missionaries had been given the Gyadam state treasure for safe-keeping. A Kibi prince, with Emanuel Gyekyi were sent with 40 soldiers to investigate this and were pressing. One Gyadam Christian went as servant with Missionary Kromer, who had a hard time protecting him. Another Gyadam Christian remained with the missionaries - he like Kromer's servant, had been bought out of slavery by Süss. 4 went away to Swedru with the rest of the Gyadam people. Soon after the evacuation of Gyadam some Akropong people journeying out of Asante brought the news that a great Asante army had been collected and was likely to make a surprise attack on Gyadam. Captain Cochrane was accompanied by 6 soldiers, an officer sent to ensure Agyeman's safe journey (Captain De Rouvaign, a Swiss from Canton Waadt) was accompanied by 20 In Tafo on the journey evacuating the station Haas dressed the wound of a Kukurantumi man who in gratitude gave him the key of his house so that he could sleep there while he stayed in Kukurantumi. There is also in this annual report a letter from Auer on the Akwapim end of the Akropong Gyadam conflict.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 28.05.1860 Proper date: 28.05.1860 Description An account of the resource Mainly devoted to his description of the destruction of Gyadam. It includes another instance of the title European being applied to Africans in European clothes – this time an Accra man working on the Gyadam station was called a European by some soldiers and regarded as a result as no enemy. Kromer seems to have had the last interview with Agyeman after Strömberg had left for Akropong - He criticised him severely for filling the hostages. Agyaman asked the Missionaries to follow him to Swedru. In the second battle Kromer gives the size of the forces as 800 under Agyeman, 2000 under Atta, and the total killed both sides as 300-400. He reports that after the Gyadamers fled an armed Kwahu force came - the Osino men investigated what was afoot and the Kwahus said they were playing. In the loot of property from Gyadam Kromer says in fact most of it arrived in Kukurantumi for the founding of the new outstation.

He also remarks again on the fact that it is on the main trade route from Asante towards the eastern part of the Gold coast so that on average he has 4-5 Asantes listening to his preaching. This report is the source of the remark in the Heidenbote article - in an editorial passage - that the Asantes are trading in rice, shea butter, parrots and slaves. Concerning the influence of Islam, Strömberg says that Mohammedans had great influence over Agyeman of Gyadam in the recent war.

Reasons - the higher cost of food and the lower value of gold, and the fact that in using gold dust for small sums (down to 1 1/2 d) there is bound to be loss. Prices he offers in support of the former point: A lamb costs 4/- in Akwapim, 4 / 6 in Akim, A hen 9d and 1 / 1 1/2 d 36 eggs 3/- and 3 / 4 ½ d. They would like half their allowances paid in silver to avoid the problems following the use of gold dust. Politically - there are rumours that Agyeman is on the Abuakwa border, and there is earnest talk of a renewal of the war. Mission work - they preach 4-5 times a week, and have regular morning and evening prayers. He has made journeys to 4 neighbouring villages. School is held regularly, and the Kukurantumi chief, whom Strömberg says in moral terms is the best chief he has met in Africa has sent three boys to the school, to see how they do - the singing pleases him very much. Baptism instructions goes ahead regularly. In an appendix (No 21a) Strömberg writes that he is able to work every other day.

The chief of Asiakwa, which like the Gyadams, 65 years ago migrated from Asante but serves king Atta, has asked for a teacher. A paragraph about the 4 Gyadam Christians who had arrived in Akropong is written in stark Calvinist terms – these were chosen by God from among the Gyadamers, and God has put into them the wish for further training.
