The severity of heat, and the low price of ardent spirits, combined to sacrifice life: in the depth of the rainy season, bodies of soldiers have been found choking the drains of the town, into which they had fallen when intoxicated during the previous night. For a minute account of the Settlers' sufferings and their causes, see the Voyages of A. M. Falcon-bridge, who was on the spot. Intemperance may be cited as one of the most general and potent causes of disease; profuse perspiration and a thirst increasing on gratification, easily lead to frequent excesses, even where habits have previously been moderate. Temperance societies did not originate in our colonies under the equator; and legends which tell of the mortality at Sierra Leone in its early days do not narrate many instances of heroic abstemiousness. Rum costs a " cut-money," or thirteen pence, a bottle; " Hodgson's mild ale," the only malt liquor, the same price: with such a choice it is easy to judge to which the lower classes would give preference. The mode of life amongst the first white colonists was a series of experiments. Different climate, and different food, required departure from usual habits. Healthy exercise became fatal fatigue. Morning exposure to the outer air, bracing in England, is prejudicial in Sierra Leone. Champagne, which exhilarates in one temperature, may convey a stream of fever in another. A cooling breeze will refresh here, and there prove fatal. In England, woollen clothing is considered more suitable to winter than summer. In Africa, the person ought to feel it in immediate contact when the air is most sultry. The usual maladies attending colonial infancy were not absent; its constitution strug-VOL. II.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Posted to Nigeria in 1954, the author, a Scottish forester, spent the next thirty years traveling through the "white man's grave"--The vast, mysterious, primeval forests of West and Central Africa.

Book Synopsis Britain at War with the Asante Nation, 1823–1900 by : Stephen Manning
Download or read book Britain at War with the Asante Nation, 1823–1900 written by Stephen Manning and published by Pen and Sword Military. This book was released on 2021-05-12 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This authoritative military history chronicles the significant but overlooked colonial wars between the British and the Asante of West Africa. Throughout the nineteenth century, Britain fought three major wars, and two minor ones, with the Asante people of West Africa. Like the Zulus, the Asante were a warrior nation who offered a tough adversary for the British regulars. And yet these wars are rarely studied and little understood. In this insightful and vividly detailed volume, Stephen Manning sheds much-needed light on the history of this neglected colonial conflict. In the war of 1823–6, the British endured a defeat so absolute that the British governor’s head was severed and taken to the Asante king. Fifty years later, Sir Garnet Wolseley overcame many of the challenges British expeditionary forces faced in the jungle region known as ‘The White Man’s Grave’. Finally, the 1900 campaign culminated in the epic defeat of the Asante at the British fort in Kumasi. Stephen Manning’s account, which is based on Asante as well as British sources, offers a fascinating view from both sides of one of the most remarkable and protracted struggles of the colonial era.

Book excerpt: By 1650, Barbados had become the greatest wealth-producing area in the English-speaking world, the center of an exchange of people and goods between the British Isles, the Gold Coast of West Africa, and the the New World.
