Description:
Diary and notes produced by Daniel (Dan) Crawford between 1888 and 1890. It contains notes of his journey from Lisbon to Africa up to May 1888. It recommences in July 1889, '200 miles on the interior journey' recounting his journey to visit Fred Arnot at Garenganze. A later section recounts his journey from Bailunda to Bihé. A section from April 1890 gives an account of the events leading up to the death of the Portuguese trader António da Silva Porto, the declaration of war by a local chief on a group of Portuguese soldiers and the aftermath. He produces an account of village life in Ocenda where the women do all the work and the men sit around smoking and talking. Included are reflections on attitudes towards 'the white man', relations with local chiefs, further travels and an account of their first public baptism.
