He said that when Amanquatia was on his way to the coast he had passed near that village, and had left it alone; but as its inhabitants (who belonged to the Arbra tribe) had troubled him much in his march, and killed many of his men, he had sworn a great oath that he would attack it on his return. I determined to get into the village if I could, but had no right to ask for an escort: and therefore thought it best to make my attempt under cover of the night. Besides, no time was to be lost. As my men knew the village and its secret paths, I took it for granted they would get me safe in, somehow or other; and when I told them to get ready by 10 P.m. to go to Abrakrampa, they did not make any objection.

Book excerpt: The Ashanti (Asante) War of 1873-74, reported on byfamous war correspondents such as Henry Morton Stanleyand G.A. Henty, was seen as a model campaign.
