Fangs of West Africa Crown Cannibal Trade and Language Study
A long U.S. newspaper piece surveys the Fangs of Gaboon and their vast realm. It notes a population around 8,000,001 with most Fangs and Pahonas dominating rivers from Lambarese to Ndyole. It details language challenges, mission efforts by Father Lejeune, trade control over ivory, and cannibal reputation. The article highlights German traders, French Congo relations, and the claim that Fangs seek mastery of the land while engaging in war and commerce. It also touches on elephants in historical pageantry and a stray humorous exchange about Niagara Falls.
