A historical sketch contrasts Britain’s anti Ashantee campaigns with King Prempeh’s rule. It notes costly wars since 1870s, Prempeh’s absolute monarchy in Ashanti, and Britain’s civilising aims amid rival French influence in Dahomey. It ends with a domestic anecdote about farm labor and wedding customs.
The text recounts legends of the Ashantee king ordering mass human sacrifices during festivals. It describes the Grove of Skulls behind Coomasle where enemies’ remains are displayed, and a royal belief that lineage honor depends on descendants sacrificed. It notes a royal roadblock stance and a ritual calendar of two neurotoids.
The text depicts a king with a large umbrella symbol and a Wnman skull at its end, said to descend through a strong lineage. King Prempex is noted to have 2,382 wives, a figure linked to inheritance and royal authority. It claims Ashante nobles are rich in race and born warriors capable of fierce combat.
A young man Larkin Go Mead carved a figure in the cold December night in Brattleboro Vermont. Water he sprayed to freeze it into stone as neighbors awoke to find the snow statue recording the year. The incident supposedly inspired him to become a sculptor and study abroad, shaping his later acclaimed work.
The article explains how Italian bees travel distances to forage, typically up to three miles, with eight miles noted in some cases.
