Bericht über zwei Untersuchungsreisen als Vorbereitung für die Asante-Mission", 1875) They went by the Begoro route, and saw in that town the snail harvest – the women returning each with a 60 pound load, gathered in the course of one day. The route was through deserted country – they had to bivouac the first two nights, they third they spent in a small gathering of empty huts, which, seem to have been their only sight of human influence except for a hunting family who had a house at the mid-point of their journey, and who were able to sell them antelope and monkey flesh. Werner had a tent, Asante and Handel had only their hammocks. Werner had a revolver. They crossed the Kwahu-Akem border at a place where it is marked by the river Aurupong. The actual town sites which they visited were: Ntesso - the first – consisting of 20-30 huts. The chief there was the man whom Asante hand sent on a secret mission to the prisoners in Asante. He complained much of the debts which he had incurred in the course of the Asante war, and how they had been badly handled by the Asantes on account of the mission which he had tried to perform for the missionaries. Tafo – a short journey from Ntesso, where they were lodged in the king’s house. Abetifi – they were received with suspicion until they made it clear they were not from the Accra government. They were impressed by the industriousness of the Abetifi people; seeing there at least one weaver; and spinning, dying, carding; A maker of wooden bowls, there was a lot of mat-making going on, and there was a smith too. Aduamo they passed. Obo, the biggest town of Kwahu, with several thousand inhabitants. “We saw something new to us in the street – here and there merchants, stalls with cloth, salt, fish, and so on offered for sale”. Five minutes from Obo is the town of Kyeneduruase – to the south west a wooded hill which is sacred to the town. No rice is grown here because it is prohibited by the Prah, but they are not afraid to eat rice. Obomeng – reached from Obo by walking through farms and palm woods. A town distinguished by its broad street and neatly arranged houses. Their general impressions were of a district with a pleasant climate. (Nights as cool as May nights in their home country) and an industrious people. They returned to Kibi by another route, though the first night had to be spent in a bivouac again. After nine hours on the second day they reached Abomosu after what seems to have been particularly difficult trek – Werner says almost every 5 steps there was some sort of obstacle to surmount. They were back in Kibi on the third evening. The manuscript ends with 2 pages of recommendations as to policy over the establishment of new stations. Begoro is clearly not the place for a station as support of a Kwahu station – it is easier by far to travel to Kwahu straight from Kibi, and the coastal traffic to Kwahu passes through Kukurantumi and Kibi.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 21.04.1875 Proper date: 21.04.1875 Description An account of the resource Additional comments to accompany Mohr’s letter of 22 March 1875 (see No 254). This letter is printed in parts in the pamphlet “Begoro und Okwau. Bericht über zwei Untersuchungsreisen als Vorbereitung für die Asante-Mission" (1875). Begoro is built four square and is greater both in number of houses and number of inhabitants than Kibi. The estimate of 5000 inhabitants is probably too high, however. It is certainly no bigger than Akropong. The population are not scattered in farming hamlets. The town is the most beautiful he has seen in Akim, only Gyadam in its time could have compared with it. They are a farming and not gold-digging people. There are villages belonging to Begoro on the plains to both sides of the hills – on the west Fankeneko and Dome, Samang and Osino. Those to the east are not named – there are several of them. There are only hunter’s paths to Kwahu and Akwapim (to Adukrom, and through there reaching Krobo). Mader thinks that now the fear of the Asantes has disappeared; routes will become opened up, however. He offers the suggestion that the gold-diggers organise their labour force partly by means of augmenting their number of wives. The colonial government has succeeded in getting the Akim chiefs to have the roads cleaned. The Okyenhene himself is well-disposed towards the mission, but his elders still play the scoundrel - 2 sheep have recently been stolen from Asante, in the second case it was returned after Asante had told the Okyenhene that if this did not happen he would ask him to pay for it. It is said that the Okyenhene has received a sum of money from the English Government for road-work and though he should have divided it among his subchiefs he is supposed to have kept it. He is building a two storey stone house.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 13.05.1875 Proper date: 13.05.1875 Description An account of the resource (Cornelius seems to have been the catechist sent one week ahead of Mohr and Mader on their exploratory visit to Begoro). He preached there twice a day, from 7 to 8 in the morning, and 5 to 6.30 in the evening. He remarks that the poor people have the custom of washing and eating before going to their farms. They grow rice, yams, groundnuts and corn. They often shoot wild buffalo, apes, deer etc. They have a fetish prohibition over eating fish either from a well-stocked nearby pond or from the rivers. Cornelius however caught two fish and cooked them for his supper, one night. There is also a large tree to the south of the town which is regarded as a fetish. Cornelius remarks that one day when he was preaching about God would forgiving sins an old fetish priest said to him that he did not think God would forgive him his sins because he had been the ruin of so many people. He explained that when his fetish had caused the death of a person the fetish came onto possession of that persons property – so he had often given poison to well-to-do people. Nevertheless said Cornelius forgiveness was for him too. (No 185 is almost exactly the same text as No 184).

If the route via Begoro had villages on it, it would have been better than this route in view of the very difficult climb into the Kwahu Mountains from this site. When the king in Abetifi heard of the purpose of their journey, he said “My whole land lies before you and what it pleases you later to take for a settlement no-one will object to. I and my land have suffered much from Karikarim, and I have decided to put myself under the protection of the white man so that now white men are to be warmly welcomed in the land.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 03.01.1876 Proper date: 03.01.1876 Description An account of the resource A letter informing the committee of their hesitations about going forward to Kwahu, because of the war. Much of the informations are in Mohr’s letter number 255 of 1875. Additional points: The Juabenhene had visited Ramseyer on the mission station in Kibi several times – they were already acquainted from the period of Ramseyer’s captivity. The story circulating about the course of the war is that the Asantes were only victorious on the fourth day through the Juaben's running out of powder. According to the Asantes themselves they suffered heavy losses, and Adu Bofo was on the point of blowing himself up with his own last 6 barrels of powder when news came that the Juabens were quite without further ammunition. Many menbers of the Juaben royal family have been captured, including the heir to the throne - a boy of 9. They have been assigned the stretch of land between Atrawante and Kukurantumi for settlement. A rumour has now reached that Gouldsberry is safe in Cape Coast after all, and had been well-handled in Kumasi. A slave of a sister of the Juabenhene’s having just escaped and arrived in Kibi reports that the streets of Kumasi are covered with grass and that many of the houses are fallen in - there are few people living there. The main problem, however, concerns the advisability of going forward into Kwahu. There have been rumours which have turned out to be untrue that there had been fighting between the Kwahus and the Asantes. There is another rumour that the Kwahus have seized Agogo or plan this. A messenger was sent to the King in Abetifi recently asking him if the missionaries should come, and his reply was that they should, and not be frightened of the Asantes. The missionaries feel, however, that there is a danger that if the Kwahus are not put under some formal kind of protection by the Colonial Government they may decide to accept Asante subjection once more. There are evidently divisions in Kwahu over this question. The recent Asante embassy was merely sent back by the Obos, but imprisoned and sent down to the coast by the chief in Abetifi acting on the advice of the Akwapims. The Kwahu wish for protection has existed for some time – there are rumours that at the time of the recent campaign they sent some money to the Akims (Kibi) in return for which the Akims were to sponser their case with the colonial government (there is now some anxiety in Kibi that they might want the money back). If Kwahu became once more subject to Asante (and no doubt all the chiefs of Kwahu know that their heads depend on their making the right decision over this problem) then the Asantehene is as likely to let the missionaries work in Abetifi as in Kumasi.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 17.01.1876 Proper date: 17.01.1876 Description An account of the resource Over the previous two weeks information from all parts of Asante shows that all is now quiet. Furthermore from Dr Gouldsberry it is learnt that Asante has no intention to attack Kwahu – indeed the Juaben war was the fault of the Juabens, who not only turned back Bonnat and Prince Ansah, but also imprisoned some of their Asante escort (Perhaps, Ramseyer adds, this is why the Juabenhene who had intended to journey to Cape Coast to see the Governor in January now seems frightened to do so). The Kwahus too seem to have decided against attacking Agogo (the cause of this was Agogo’s treachery against the Juabens). Therefore they plan to travel to Kwahu within the next week, and Ramseyer will write a letter to the Asantehene explaining what they are doing in terms of his great love for Asante and the need for a link station between the coast and Kumasi, to try to maintain reasonable relations with Kumasi.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 08.02.1876 Proper date: 08.02.1876 Description An account of the resource Reporting their arrival in Abetifi. He finds there faces he recognises from their stay as prisoners, and everyone knows who is he and are surprised to see him back again. The hut where he lived for two days as a prisoner is now in ruins. Politically the situation seems to be that although the chiefs of Obo and Obomeng had wanted to restore links with Asante they had been persuaded to drop the idea by the other chiefs. Ramseyer thinks they will have to restore links with Asante sooner or later but doesn’t think this will affect the situation much. Nevertheless he admits that the Kwahus are showing great respect for the colonial government, in the last week they had cleaned the whole road from Kwahu to Akim, partly in the fear that if they did not do this they would be punished by the colonial government (Buhl after reading the letter in Christiansborg adds a note that because of this David Asante was able to travel from Abetifi to Akim in 3 ½ days). On their way into Kwahu they had passed through Obo because they felt that the choice of sites for a mission station lay between that town and Abetifi. Obo they decided against because the obvious hill for a mission station was too far from the town and too far from water. In any case Abetifi is the residence of the Kwahu chief, and only three hours from Obo. On the 5th February the mission became owners of land on a long hill to the north of the town, about 7 minutes away from it. From it you can see almost the whole of the Abetifi town. There are plenty of stones for building. They plan to build a living house on the station first because it will not be possible to build swish once the rain starts, while the stone walls for the chapel will be possible. They are starting off in any case with temporary houses, because their rented rooms in the town cost 4 dollars per month, and they are “open” – in the whole of Abetifi are no rooms with doors and shutters.

Very friendly reception at Mpraeso – they had a choice of accommodation. 600 people including the chief and his elders listened to Asante’s preaching the next morning, and he had the impression that people in Mpraeso were very pleased with the news that the mission was starting a Kwahu station. The hill surveyed in Obo was to the North-West of the town, 10 minutes away. To Weimer it was the water question which was decisive in deciding against it. They were not able to see the chief in Obo – he was involved in a fetish ceremony. From Obo to Abetifi they passed through a sizeable village -Aduammoa. In Abetifi they first found themselves lodgings, then got permission from the chief to choose land for themselves although they did not meet the chief because he was celebrating a fetish festival – he returned two days later. The purchase process lasted about a week, with the local idea first that the land sould be given to the mission – though this turned out to be really a form of rent with an unfixed present due to the chief every few months. They were not familiar with the idea of land purchase and two days were spent in consultations between the Abetifi chief and the other Kwahu Chiefs over what was to be done. Eventually the purchase was agreed on at 110 dollars, and on their side the letter of purchase was signed by the chief, 2 linguists and an elder (The land is described as a triangle, 3000 paces along each side).

The main material of interest in the printed passage is the number of candidates for baptism (21 men), the employment of 7 on the building, and the missionaries' determination that they should learn orderly and regular work so that they should not be dependent for their living on the sad activity that passes for trade. Their baptismal training includes being taught to read. In the passages not printed are the following points of interest: The letter concerns the plans for building the mission house in Begoro. It appears that the idea of a two-storey house has been evolved by Mohr himself on the grounds of the saving which will be involved if they do not have to create such large area of roof space and foundations as would be needed if the mission house was a single storey building; with an equal length of store houses etc. in a parallel single storey as he found was the case at Kibi. In Abetifi was built a 2 storey-house.
