New York: Longmans, Green, 1901. Book. Illus. by 2 Folding Maps, 32 Full Page Photos. Very Good. Cloth. First U.S.. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A rare account of the siege of Kumassi in 1900, written by the wife of the British colonial Governor of the Gold Coast. It is a stirring account, with a good deal on the social and cultural life of the Ashanti and other tribes. Excellent photos, although Lady Hodgson might be accused of being enamored with the trappings of her Station (photo of the dining room in Government House). Original red cloth, with a gilt elephant and palm on the front cover. Some edgewear, but protected in clear, mylar dustjacket. Inside clean and tight, with bit of soiling only to the endpapers..
