He gives a biography of one of the Asante pupils. His name was Ofusuhene, his father had been the Asante representative in Kwahu, and thus taken prisoner when Kwahu declared for the English in the 1869-74 war and despatched with all the other Asante captives to Akim for onward escort to the coast. The father was one of those beheaded, however, and that the son was one of a party whom an English official tried to return to Asante, their escort only took them in fact to the last Akim town, and they were in fact secretly re-captured by the Akims. The boy was given to the chief of the border village by the Okyenhene, who in turn sold him to a rich man of the village, and Ofusuhene spent his time carrying loads to and from the coast. He then heard that there was a place in Kibi where slave boys could flee without fear of recapture.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 18.10.1876 Proper date: 18.10.1876 Description An account of the resource Out of the graduates of the school up to 1876 had come 2 catechists, 2 teachers, and 3 fathers of Christian families. This is a history of the Kibi school written from Asante's own knowledge and the information in the school-records. The key moment of change for the school was after the emancipation of 1874 'when instead of tyranny and oppression (a period of) freedom and equality (arrived)’. The youth of Akim used this freedom to start coming to school. Most come from Kibi, Asiakwa and the North West. 3 are from Asante - a Kwahu whose uncle brought him to the school before the missionaries were established at Abetifi, a Juaben, and a boy from Kumasi who before had been a slave following capture as prisoner of war. It is a real haven for once slave youths - the masters are still trying to force people to remain slaves, but no-one dare touch a pupil at the Boarding School. Now ex-slaves sit next to boys from free and noble families in the boarding school - it is interesting to see the ex-slave sitting next to the boy from the royal family, and hear the former say to the latter 'Kosa nsu bra afei yew ungina ye pe’ which Asante translates to mean 'Go and fetch water, we are all alike now'. 5 of the boys who entered the school are baptismal candidates have applied for baptism - they are all older boys.

Much is printed in the Heidenbote 1870, pp49-50, p78, p121ff. Other points in the manuscript include: The Begorohene had sent a party of men with the hunter who Asante had commissioned to take the message to Kumasi. The messenger was able to give some information on the prisoners – e.g. that they were not in Kumasi itself, but in a village about as far away as Akropong is from Mampong Akw. The man was able to say this as he had spent a whole year in Abiri. He 'also gave news on the war, which had been going badly for the Asantes - many losses and nothing much obtained. The army was now on its return journey in an area on the upper Volta called Pae, and from there they would return via Sohae to Akoroso. Many salt and tobacco merchants had come with Asante’s messenger - they were buying a quantity of salt which cost 1/- on the coast for 2 dollars and selling it again for 9-10 dollars. The business is arranged in such a way that only two Kwahus who have a secret connection with the Begorohene are allowed into the town – and they have to remain in concealment. The rest stay in the forest, while these two do business for them.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 26.06.1875 Proper date: 26.06.1875 Description An account of the resource In Kibi about 100 slaves have left their masters. Most have fled to the missionaries order to have explained to them what the new law means and often cannot quite believe that from now on they are free. People are also coming from other Akim villages to fetch home their ex-slave relatives. The sister and aunt of the Okyenhene have lost almost all their slaves. The Okyenhene has tried to bring back slaves by force and in most cases would have succeeded had not the mission protected them or in some cases taken them into mission employment. The slaves of the royal family have on the whole had to endure the worst treatment. Many of them say that had the Okyenhene publicly proclaimed the Emancipation and guaranteed them human treatment in the future they would have remained in his service. In other Akim villages (Asiakwa, Asuom, Begoro are cited as example) the chief has had the Proclamation read out and given the erstwhile slaves the rights of citizens. They are remaining in their towns on familiar terms with their erstwhile masters. They hear that in Fante mang slaves have taken advantage of the Proclamatieen to free themselves As for wages - in Akim the Emancipation has had no effect as yet. But since the missionaries are the only wage-employers they should in the future be no longer dependent on the whims of individual potential workers in view of the large free labour force, it should be possible to keep wages down to their old levels. In Kibi most slaves were from Akim villages, and have returned to their homes - slaves from further afield are setting out to farm, which no-one hinders in view of their plentiful land available, or are going to Akwapim where there is no shortage of employment. There is thus no danger of developing a poor proletariat, nor so far, has there been any report of robbery or violence - except in that the Okyenhene has himself been responsible for it. For the future they suggest a number of points to make the Emancipation effective: There should be colonial officials posted to every interior tribe - this would make an end to the ‘godless misconduct of the constables'. They should have the power to check the judicial activities of the chiefs in order to protect the ex-slaves and their families from roundabout persecution. They could also provide protection for the ex-slaves in a straightforward way - the mission station in Kibi already has its resources badly strained with the freed slaves staying in it. The free slaves should be assigned their own land and freed from tribute etc. - this will be better than leaving them with their earlier masters in that they will learn regular work more easily and also will be more accessible to the missionaries More schools are needed - they have had to turn away 20 ex-slave children away from the Kibi Boarding School for want of places. The regime could use the freed labour force now existing to make new roads to open up the inland areas - with roads or navigable rivers cotton could be brought to the coast from Kwahu, and Akim timber exported. If at .the same time it was made illegal to do more than give gifts to mark a marriage as is the case in Akwapim, the well-known lack of women in Akim would also be cured, since this would break the monopoly of the rich men and the women. There should also be some legal regulation over pawning - at the moment, with interest at 50-100% a pawn is virtually a permanent slave. As for the attitudes of ex-slaves and ex-masters – the slaves are of course glad about their freedom, but it is not an enthusiastic gladness as it was in the West Indian islands. The reason for this is a certain distrust of the government – the people of Akim see very little of the activities of the government, and the few who were not able to turn to the missionaries for help were often rather lost in the face of the new situation. The masters of course are not pleased, but have taken the change quietly, though here and there revenge is sought. There is not the slightest trace of revolutionary opinion in Akim. 'Through the gospel, the school and regular pursuit of their callings by the people, the Colony will be really helped.'

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 05.04.1878 Proper date: 05.04.1878 Description An account of the resource He had returned to Akim after the court case in Accra, but had received a letter from the directing committee (G.C. Ausschuss) saying he must be posted out of Akim in view of the Governor's second letter to the Mission, which had threatened to give him over to the caprices of the Okyenhene. In spite of this he made a last visit to some of the most praising centres. The two centres where they received the best reception on this journey were Akrofufu and Kwabeng. The Abomosu baptisms - the women catechumens were not satisfactory when examined prior to baptism. The examination involved the candidates repeating the main parts of the catechism, and then answering questions designed to find out if they understood what they had said. After the examinations Asante had to settle the catechumens' marriage circumstances, and issue instructions e.g. about relations with the chief of the town. The baptisms took place in the courtyard of one of the catechumens. The 38 baptised ranged from 1 to 40 years in age, with only 3 women. The Christians' main enemies are the fetish priest and a few of the elders. On leaving, Asante gave the Christians 'according to, English law' over to the protection of the local chief. He also baptised in Tumfa, 12 people, only one woman, the ages ranging from 2 to 42. Buck held his first street preaching there - translated by Asante. On returning to Akwapim Asante met friends he had not seen for 6 years. Assessing Ata's position after the case in Accra, Asante reports also that some of his people want to depose claims that Ata acknowledges his fault in this respect, and in a public assembly said to him 'My son, I am sorry I have acted with you so. I would not have done this if other people had not instigated me to this'. Asante also reports that Ata is in financial difficulties, and links the meeting about the Okyenhene's debts (he gives the figure of 120 ounces of gold) with the bribes which the Okyenhene had distributed in Accra.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 17.04.1876 Proper date: 17.04.1876 Description An account of the resource Includes his excuses for not having written an 1875 Year's Report - he was too busy with the installation of the new missionaries in Begoro and Abetifi. Also during the quarter the subordinate personnel on the station changed - Obeng went to Begoro, Adaw and Tenkorang to Akwapim. He had recently baptised 4 out of a group of 25 catechumens, all young adults. Many catechumens were not baptised because they had travelled into Kwahu with the new missionaries and had thus missed their baptismal instruction. Street preaching Kibi is now attended by numbers of Juabens - but no longer by the Okyenhene who has allowed himself to be persuaded against this step by his elders, (There is a note by Buhl who had been in Kibi a couple of months previously that this never was a sincere step, simply a manoeuvre made with his eyes on the English colonial government). At the end of the quarter there were 10 catechumens. The Christian village there is increasing more quickly than the one in Kukurantumi because most of the baptised Christians are ex-slaves who feel freer on a mission land than they would living near their former masters. Reports the Juabens are showing little desire to settle on the land given them by the English government. They say that if the English government will not help them to their revenge, then they will set out again and join up with the tribes to the north of Kumasi who are opposed to the authority of Kumasi. He gives the names of these as Nkoranza, Korakye, Brong, Worawora, Sai and Boa. Almost daily Juabens arrive who have fled from Kumasi, who report that the Kumasi people are afraid of the return of the Juabens strengthened from the protectorate. They say Kumasi is partly in ruins, and that grass grows on the streets, there is a great shortage of foodstuffs in Kumasi and the whole of Asante proper. The disorder is so great that an official of the new king’s has taken one of the king’s wives and fled with her to Cape Coast. There is further war between Kumasi and Mampong; Mampong had wanted to move away and go to Krakye. Gyaman has also declared war against Kumasi. Thus the peace in which they have been able to set up the Kwahu station. He adds tout court that the Kwahu people come originally from the other side of the Afram, out of the land of the Sai people.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 20.06.1887 Proper date: 20.06.1887 Description An account of the resource Concerned with a preaching journey into Nkonya May-June 1887. The Tsate outstation is led by Ator, a man who had attended services for a long time Akwapim, Boso and Kpalime, before he became a catechumen, and who then in his zeal was able to persuade several of his family members to join him (the Tsate community consists of 4 Christian families, and the Kayera community 3 families). Now he goes out preaching in the villages around, repeating what he has heard in sermons other people have preached - and he is keen to learn Christian songs to minimise the temptation to go back to the heathen songs of his heathen days. He met no people in Abofrom since they were all on their farms - he was disappointed is this because the Tsate people said that there were young men who would join them if they had a teacher. In Botoku an elder told him that it was no good coming to them on journeys --they must have a teacher who would teach them every day. From there he preached in 6 Wusuta villages, Anvoi villages and Atawuranu villages. The latter, especially in their chief town Agbesie pressed for a teacher - they said they could see that this was a religion of power, but the preaching journeys were not enough to convert them. A youth from Agbesie went a long way with Asante on the next day discussing the Word with him. In Nkonya he preached in Ntwutruru, Kagyebi, Atomda, Tepa, Wurupon, Praprawase. Nothing notable seems to have occurred - in several places he was short of hearers because the people were on their farms. In Kpando the chief and elders pressed for a teacher - the chief gave Asante a son to have educated. He was terrified at the thought he was being sold. The same request was made urgently in Anvoi.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 13.07.1874 Proper date: 13.07.1874 Description An account of the resource Very morose concerning the community - two members had to be excluded for adultery soon after his arrival, and shortly after it was discovered that the elder, William Dapa, was a habitual thief. He has still not met half the people on the list of members. Haas told him they were away trading, Asante regards them as probably making a calling out of being vagabonds. Besides the servants of the mission ataff and the School-boys there is hardly anyone in the chapel usually. Street preaching was usually carried on with a large and attentive crowd especially from among the relatively large numbers of Asantes currently in Kibi. These consist of princes and their followers from Juaben and other smaller states, who are in Kibi with relatives they are prepared to offer as hostages in peace negotiations with the British, and also in pursuit of British protection for themselves. They are in Kibi because they want the Okyenhene to act as a go-between for them. 'They all believe that our business of preaching and the school would be the best means against the constant war between us and Asante' - they want missionaries to go to them. The whole of the Asante area that was not Asante proper, and part of Asante proper too, has fallen away from allegiance to the Asante empire, and wants to be accepted into the British protectorate - when everything has been set in order a great mission field will be open north and east of Kumasi – Nkoranza, Gamang, Ntwumuru, Brong, Krakye, Worawora, Juaben, Kwahu. The Kwahuhene has already told Asante to write to Europe and tell them he is ready to receive missionaries, and the Juaben ambassadors assure him that when their king has heard what they have seen of the mission in Kibi he will ask for a missionary presence too. In the boarding school there are two main problems - the chief and elders do not want to send pupils, and the food is so little that pupils run away because of it. Asante complains that the Kibi people do not even grow enough plantains to feed themselves, but have to go to other Akim villages to get food. He is having to bring in food from elsewhere, too, including yams from Akwapim. Compared with the Kibi people, the Kukurantumi people with their farms are much less inclined to travel. In subscripts both Mader and Buhl contest this view, the former reckons the food point is only an excuse for the losses in the school, he himself feels that Haas has been too inconsistent in his discipline. The latter feels that Asante has not taken enough time to understand the situation and has adopted a rather different standpoint from that from which he viewed the Larte community Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context D-01.26.VI..213 Subject The topic of the resource [Archives catalogue]: Guides / Finding aids: Archives: D - Ghana: D-01 - Incoming correspondence from Ghana up to the outbreak of the First World War: D-01.26 - Ghana 1874: D-01.26.VI. - Kjebi Title A name given to the resource Asante's Report for the Second Quarter of 1874 Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

He gives a description of the new school garden, which includes inter al. 800 yams and 1000 cocoyams. He has made preaching journeys through Nkronso, Krobo, Wirekyereng (3 Apedwa villages), Asafo, Kukurantumi, Mease, Anyinasing, Asiakwa, Agyepoma, Akoko; Juaben people are scattered through the whole of Akim, and he found them mingling with the other hearers at street preachings.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 08.10.1873 Proper date: 08.10.1873 Description An account of the resource Went to Kibi to help during the time of the Haas' severe illness in mid-'73 - expected the Kibi chief to be unfriendly in view of the 'Begoro affair' but instead found him well-disposed to the mission, and especially friendly to the missionaries. If he acts hostilely to the mission, it is under the influence of his elders. Reports a three-week preaching journey north and north-east of Kukurantumi, which brought him to 13 villages. Mease - a few attentive hearers - he did not stay the night knowing that the rest of the people would not return from their hunting before the next day. Anyinasin - he had a fight with a young fetish priest who ran at him with a sword - before the people separated them he had given him several boxes on the ears and the people were amazed that he could do this unscathed. He explains that both in English and local law he was within his rights since the man had run at him with a drawn sword about priest and fetish - he was a young man newly chosen by the fetish, who had a fallen-down white painted house at the beginning of the village. Asante had already talked to him as he began to be in a state of possession, advising him, in view of the poor state of the fetish shrine to change his masters. Asiakwa - comparatively few listeners on account of the nearby gold-digging. People thee speak openly against the fetishes - this is not yet the case in Kukurantumi. Nsutam - along the worst track he has ever experienced - though there he had a large crowd of exceptionally attentive hearers. Nevertheless he could buy no food there. Saman - he had to call people out of their houses for his preaching, and they were still not at all attentive. Osino - again apathy, and people had gone to the gold-mining when he wanted to preach to them a second time. Abompe - he preached to the people before they went out gold-mining for the day, and made some impact with his account of the fall of Adam. Otsehenease – after his preaching on the bible story, the local chief said to him 'I am too old to begin any new life; if Jesus doesn't take me into his kingdom when I die than he will have to send me back here again'. Asante replied 'Listen, brother, (he explains they called each other 'brother' because they were both king's sons) if the king in Kibi has something against you he doesn’t call you and send you back, he puts you in irons’. Dome - where he just told the people a bible study – there were very few of them and they had never heard any Christian teaching before. Begoro - Finin is destooled and currently in Accra. He had in fact fled to Asante when he left Begoro and Asante advised him to go to the coast, which he did straight away, leaving between 10 and 11 p.m. on the night of 4th July. He is going to try to get legal redress from the British Government. The Begoro people pressed for someone to be stationed there and when he explained that the Basel Mission had little money or people left he was told that surely they would get their cut from the huge sums of money the German king had taken from the French? Asante offers some more information on the Begoro view of Europe - Germany is 'the Land of the Missionaries’ or the 'Land of the Pious’ - he was asked if all Germans were pious, and when he explained that this was not the case, was asked if the rest had their fetishes and fetish priests.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 05.10.1874 Proper date: 05.10.1874 Description An account of the resource He has met the community and asked them firstly to move onto the station and secondly to make farms. They agreed to the former request, but only the two married members agreed to the latter. The rest refused, since they have no wives and children they do not need farms. Asante said that the mission would gladly buy their produce this did not impress them nor did the news that the Basel Committee had sanctioned marriage with heathen women in the event of no Christian wives being available. The young men complained that it was impossible to get wives in Akim without paying enough money to compete with the elders nor have the members been impressed with the idea of starting a prayer and bible study meeting, and their attendance at services is irregular. Attendance at street-preaching in Kibi is large especially among the Asante traders, and the Juaben hostages and their followers.
