Excerpt from The African Repository, and Colonial Journal, Vol. 20: July, 1844
On the proposition being made to establish a Maryland settlement, Wood was one of the first volunteers, and proved eminently useful in drumming up recruits. Having been an officer in the Monrovia Guards, and being a man of good character, firmness and courage, he received a commission as captain of the volunteers. After the purchase of territory was made, he was the first man atthehead of a fatigue party, to strike his cutlass into the Bush of Cape Felinas, and three days did not elapse before the sound of his anvil was heard, forging the 1ron work for mounting our guns.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of American colonization in Africa, specifically focusing on the establishment of a Maryland settlement in Liberia. Through the lens of personal journals, the book explores the experiences of both missionaries and colonists in a complex and often challenging environment. We are given a detailed account of the establishment of the colony, from its initial recruitment efforts to the building of infrastructure and the forging of relationships with local tribes. The narrative highlights the pivotal role of Captain Wood, a key figure in the colony's development who served both as a military leader and a civil official. However, the book does not shy away from depicting the difficulties faced by the colonists, including instances of conflict and mistrust with the indigenous populations. The author meticulously documents the tribulations of the Rev. Mr. Payne, a missionary who, despite his best efforts, found himself embroiled in disputes with local leaders and forced to flee his mission station. The book delves into the complexities of intertribal relations, the clash of cultures, and the challenges of attempting to establish a Christian presence in a region where traditional practices and beliefs held sway. It sheds light on the early stages of African colonization, a period of ambitious aspirations, cultural encounters, and enduring struggles that shaped the future of both Africa and America. Ultimately, the book offers a valuable window into a pivotal moment in history, highlighting the struggles, triumphs, and complexities of colonial expansion in the face of diverse cultures and entrenched traditions.
