Northern Rhodesia I ' ' THEY CAME TO NORTHERN RHODESIA Compiled by RICHARD SAMPSON, f.r.s.a.. ac.w.a. 1956 THEY CAME TO NORTHERN RHODESIA Being a record of persons who had entered what is now the Territory of (Northern Rhodesia) Zambia today by 31st December. 1902 Compiled by RICHARD SAMPSON, f.r.s.a., ac.w.a. FAMILY HISTORY LIBRARY 35 NORTH WEST TEMPLE SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84150 To those persons who came but whose names are not recorded in this book. INTRODUCTION In this book Mr. Sampson has put on record information which every Northern Rhodesian ought to know and which every Northern Rhodesian will need to know at some time. He gives us a selection of facts about the people who came to Northern Rhodesia before the end of the South African War, when Northern Rhodesia was in the process of being discovered by the outside world. He tells us when they came, where they came from and why they came. He tells us what manner of people they were—the people who came—and how they fared when they came He does all this with a remarkable economy of words and he presen ts his story in a most readable form. I commend this work to IS orthern Rhodesians of all races. I know that Mr. Sampson's rosea:rches are still continuing and I will await with interest his next literary venture. A. T. Williams, Cape Town, Chief Secretary, November, 1955. Northern Rhodesia Government. AUTHOR'S NOTE BELLINGS OF PLACE NAMES ARE IN SOME CASES INCONSISTENT IN THE CONTEXT OF THIS BOOK. I HAVE TAKEN IN ALL INSTANCES THE SPELLING USED BY THE PIONEERS, AS I FEEL THAT IT WOULD BE WRONG TO ALTER THEM. iv PREFACE The Commission for the Preservation of Natural and Historical Monuments and Relics, in accordance with its policy to publish records of interest connected with the past history of Northern Rhodesia and of the monuments and relics that are preserved here, is pleased to be able to follow up its Handbook to the Victoria Falls and the Check List of Old Boma Sites with the present publication They Came to Northern Rhodesia. This work has been compiled by Mr. Richard Sampson, a.c.w.a., and provides as complete a list as possible of all Europeans known to have visited the Territory up to the end of the year 1902. This work has taken the author many months to complete and the Territory is in his debt for having provided us with such a valuable record, which will be a source-book of use for many years to all those wishing to investigate further the history of European penetration and settlement north of the Zambezi. v ABBREVIATIONS A.L.C African Lakes Corporation Ltd.

It will be apparent that after a minimum time lapse of over fifty years I have not had the benefit of many personal interviews with pioneers of those days, and as a result I have, to a large extent, had to rely on written records. This has immediately presented its own problems. Not only has it been necessary to trace the available records but problems of reliability and accuracy have also arisen. The biggest single problem I have had to face is to ascertain whether or not the person under consideration for inclusion in this record actually entered Northern Rhodesia within the date limit covered by this book. Before accepting any record I have put it to the following test: (a) From the general context, is it a bona fide record and not fiction? (b) Are the dates of the incidents mentioned in the record sufficiently clear to be sure they had occurred by the 31st December, 1902? (c) Were the persons mentioned clearly within the boundaries of what is now known as Northern Rhodesia? Only in the case of visitors to the Victoria Falls have I given any person the benefit of the doubt as to whether they actually entered Northern Rhodesia or not. I have given latitude in these cases as most recordings of the early visits to the Palls are extremely vague and are not clear whether or not the person actually entered Northern Rhodesia. As, however, the Zambezi is a Northern Rhodesian river (Southern Rhodesia ends on the southern bank) one foot into the water, so to speak, means they were in Northern Rhodesia and would be qualified without doubt for inclusion. In all other cases I have provided no latitude whatsoever and I have insisted that the record does show the person was within the present boundaries of Northern Rhodesia. It is quite clear to me that in keeping to this standard I have excluded many persons who would, were the facts known, be entitled to inclusion in this record. I am anticipating a spate of communica¬ tions indicating the names and details of further people who should be included. This I do not mind as it will pave the way for a more complete record some time in the future. However, what I have wished to avoid is being challenged on the entitlement of any person included and, bearing in mind the degree of proof I have required, the possibility of this is, I think, remote. Why 31st December, 1902 ? To a great extent it was fixed arbitrarily. I wished to avoid the large influx of people who came to ix the Territory after the South African War and the large parties of Europeans who came with the building of the railway. To include these would have made my task unwieldy. In the event 1902 appears to have been a fairly good date limit although I was surprised at the number of persons entering the Terri¬ tory from the east during 1901 and 1902. The European population of what is now the Northern and Eastern Provinces must have been higher in those years than is generally supposed. It will be noticed in this record that no African names appear. I have excluded these because whilst the African from South Africa played a comparatively large part in the first penetrations of this country, in most cases the records only show Christian or first names which would be meaningless in a roll of this nature. However, although I have not mentioned it in the record, a few of the persons with European names were not in fact of the European race. With regard to the details shown under each name,"I wish to point out the following limitations: (a) No attempt has been made to show the later history of these individuals, i.e. after the 31st December, 1902. In many cases, although it would not be recognised from the content, the persons noted have had distinguished careers. Conversely several of the persons listed had to be forcibly removed from the Territory. (b) The dates of entry shown are the earliest I have been able to verify. In cases it is certain that the person actually came into the country at an earlier date than has been verified. (c) Many of the employing companies mentioned in the text appear to have co-operated to a considerable degree in sharing staff. I have, in most cases, indicated the main company with which the person was employed but in actual fact many of the employees were actually with more than one of the companies listed in the abbreviations. This is quite understandable in connection with the African Lakes Corporation and the British South Africa Company, as the latter company took over the administration of the African Lakes Corporation in 1902. It is not clear why this should be in the case of other companies who had, as far as I can trace, no apparent connections with each other. (d) Not all references available for each person are shown in the book. In compiling this record I have examined approximately 20,000 letters, books, newspapers, gazettes and official documents. Of these it will be seen that I have selected over 300 for mention in this record.

  • Linguistics for the Use of African History and the Comparative Study of Bantu Pottery Vocabulary
    LINGUISTICS FOR THE USE OF AFRICAN HISTORY AND THE COMPARATIVE STUDY OF BANTU POTTERY VOCABULARY Koen Bostoen Université Libre de Bruxelles1 Royal Museum for Central Africa Tervuren 1. Introduction Ever since African historical linguistics emerged in the 19th century, it has served a double purpose. It has not only been practiced with the aim of studying language evolution, its methods have also been put to use for the reconstruction of human history. The promotion of linguistics to one of the key disciplines of African historiography is an inevitable consequence of the lack of ancient written records in sub-Saharan Africa. Scholars of the African past generally fall back on two kinds of linguistic research: linguistic classifi- cation and linguistic reconstruction. The aim of this paper is to present a con- cise application of both disciplines to the field of Bantu linguistics and to offer two interesting comparative case studies in the field of Bantu pottery vocabulary. The diachronic analysis of this lexical domain constitutes a promising field for interdisciplinary historical research. At the same time, the examples presented here urge history scholars to be cautious in the applica- tion of words-and-things studies for the use of historical reconstruction. The neglect of diachronic semantic evolutions and the impact of ancient lexical copies may lead to oversimplified and hence false historical conclusions. 2. Bantu languages and the synchronic nature of historical linguistics Exact estimations being complicated by the lack of good descriptive ma- terial, the Bantu languages are believed to number at present between 400 and 600. They are spoken in almost half of all sub-Saharan countries: Camer- 1 My acknowledgement goes to Yvonne Bastin, Claire Grégoire, Jacqueline Renard, Ellen Vandendorpe and Annemie Van Geldre who assisted me in the preparation of this paper.

It reveals that the government mainly responded to the decline in government revenues, the widespread poverty and destitution and the distortion of internal trade. The study shows that during the emergency period, 1932-1934, the administration made changes to government structures and functioning so as to curtail expenditure and balance its budget. It reorganised staff in the public service, reduced budgetary allocations to departments and realigned several departments and provinces.

In an urbanized world, countries are apt to be judged according to their degree of urbanization. A glance at the map shows that the under-developed countries are also, by and large, rural. Cities have long existed in Africa, of course. From the ancient trade and cultural centers of Carthage and Alexandria to the mediaeval sultanates of East Africa, urban life has long existed in some degree or another. Yet none of these cities changed significantly the rural character of the African hinterland. Today the city needs to be more than the occasional market place, the seat of political authority, and a haven for the literati. It remains these of course, but it is much more. It must be the industrial and economic wellspring of a large area, perhaps of a nation. The city has become the concomitant of industrialization and industrialization the concomitant 1 2 of the revolution of rising expectations. African cities today are largely the products of colonial enterprise but are equally the measure of their country's progress. The city is witness everywhere to the acute personal, familial, and social upheavals of society in the process of urbanization.

Using primary and secondary data sources, it was observed that the negative impacts of climate change among the Lozi people include; increase in atmospheric pressure and excessive heat and flooding, prolonged spells of unexpected changes in seasons, reduction in food production and security, as well as inadequate clean water supply and extinction of some plant and animal species. The study also revealed vast local ecological knowledge that, if utilised, may help in the adaptation of climate change.

  • The Political Ecology of a Small-Scale Fishery, Mweru-Luapula, Zambia
    Managing inequality: the political ecology of a small-scale fishery, Mweru-Luapula, Zambia Bram Verelst1 University of Ghent, Belgium 1. Introduction Many scholars assume that most small-scale inland fishery communities represent the poorest sections of rural societies (Béné 2003). This claim is often argued through what Béné calls the "old paradigm" on poverty in inland fisheries: poverty is associated with natural factors including the ecological effects of high catch rates and exploitation levels. The view of inland fishing communities as the "poorest of the poorest" does not imply directly that fishing automatically lead to poverty, but it is linked to the nature of many inland fishing areas as a common-pool resources (CPRs) (Gordon 2005). According to this paradigm, a common and open-access property resource is incapable of sustaining increasing exploitation levels caused by horizontal effects (e.g. population pressure) and vertical intensification (e.g. technological improvement) (Brox 1990 in Jul-Larsen et al. 2003; Kapasa, Malasha and Wilson 2005). The gradual exhaustion of fisheries due to "Malthusian" overfishing was identified by H. Scott Gordon (1954) and called the "tragedy of the commons" by Hardin (1968). This influential model explains that whenever individuals use a resource in common – without any form of regulation or restriction – this will inevitably lead to its environmental degradation. This link is exemplified by the prisoner's dilemma game where individual actors, by rationally following their self-interest, will eventually deplete a shared resource, which is ultimately against the interest of each actor involved (Haller and Merten 2008; Ostrom 1990). Summarized, the model argues that the open-access nature of a fisheries resource will unavoidably lead to its overexploitation (Kraan 2011).

  • Encounters Between Jesuit and Protestant Missionaries in Their Approaches to Evangelization in Zambia
    chapter 4 Encounters between Jesuit and Protestant Missionaries in their Approaches to Evangelization in Zambia Choobe Maambo, s.j. Africa’s reception of Christianity and the pace at which the faith permeated the continent were incredibly slow. Although the north, especially Ethiopia and Egypt, is believed to have come under Christian influence as early as the first century, it was not until the fourth century that Christianity became more widespread in north Africa under the influence of the patristic fathers. From the time of the African church fathers up until the fifteenth century, there was no trace of the Christian church south of the Sahara. According to William Lane, s.j.: It was not until the end of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries that Christianity began to spread to the more southerly areas of Africa. The Portuguese, in their search for a sea route to India, set up bases along the East and West African coasts. Since Portugal was a Christian country, mis- sionaries followed in the wake of the traders with the aim of spreading the Gospel and setting up the Church along the African coasts.1 Prince Henry the Navigator (1394–1460) of Portugal was the man behind these expeditions, in which priests “served as chaplains to the new trading settle- ments and as missionaries to neighboring African people.”2 Hence, at the close of the sixteenth century, Christian missionary work had increased significantly south of the Sahara. In Central Africa, and more specifically in the Kingdom of Kongo, the Gospel was preached to the king and his royal family as early as 1484.

  • Juvenile Missionary Biographies, C. 1870-1917 'Thesis Submitted in Accordance with the Requirem
    Imagining the Missionary Hero: Juvenile Missionary Biographies, c. 1870-1917 ‘Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Julie Anne McColl.’ December 2017 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the fascinating and complex body of work surrounding the missionary hero as a product of late imperial ideas of the heroic produced in the form of biography. It will concentrate upon how the literature was appropriated, reproduced and disseminated via the Sunday school network to working-class children between 1870 and 1917. It will discuss how biographers through imaginative narrative strategies and the reframing of the biography as an adventure story, were able to offer children a physical exemplar and self-sacrificial hero who dispensed clear imperial ideas and moral values. This thesis will reflect upon how the narratives embedded in dominant discourses provided working-class children with imperial ideologies including ideas of citizenship and self-help which it will argue allowed groups of Sunday school readers to feel part of an imagined community. In doing so, the thesis sheds important new light on a central point of contention in the considerable and often heated discussion that has developed since the 1980s around the impact of empire on British people.Through an analysis of common themes it will also consider the depiction of women missionaries, asking whether biographical representation challenged or reinforced traditional gender ideologies. To interrogate these components effectively this thesis is divided into two parts, Part One is divided into five chapters providing context, while Part Two will look in detail at the repetition and adaption of common themes.

  • Brethren and the Sao Tomé Cocoa Slavery Controversy: the Role of Charles A
    BHR 4: 98-113 BRETHREN AND THE SAO TOMÉ COCOA SLAVERY CONTROVERSY: THE ROLE OF CHARLES A. SWAN (1861-1934)1 Tim Grass It is a commonplace of Brethren historiography that their missionaries sought to stand apart from matters to do with local politics and colonial administration, focusing on the proclamation of the gospel. However, such a view has been challenged by a few writers, and it is fair to say that it has been more of a reflection of attitudes at home than of the situation ‘on the field’. This is strikingly demonstrated by the involvement of the Brethren missionary Charles A. Swan (1861- 1934) in anti-slavery campaigning, and the way in which his career has been treated by later writers on Brethren mission. Swan was born and brought up in Sunderland, becoming a clerk on leaving school. Around the age of nineteen Swan was converted, mainly through the preaching of A.A. Rees (1815-84) at Bethesda Chapel. Rees was one of a number of pastors of independent evangelical causes who were to a considerable extent fellow-travellers with Brethren,2 and so it was a relatively easy step for Swan to begin attending a Brethren assembly, where he began to be exercised about becoming a missionary. Even before his conversion, he had been interested in things African, and after it he devoured Livingstone’s books as well as keeping up with reports of Fred Arnot’s work in Central Africa (Arnot had gone out in 1881).3 When he went abroad in 1886, it was in fellowship with the editors of Echoes of Service, 1.
