Thumping a King in a West Africa River Campaign
In 1862 the kingdom of Oyatmpoo rose with forts along a Calabar river and armed ships to challenge British control. A British expedition with four warships and 9,000 infantry breached the river forts in hours, shells and rifle fire destroying earthworks and guns.
