The Ashantee War: Captain Glover's head-quarters at Addah, from a sketch by our special artist, 1874. '...the camp at Addah, near the mouth of the Volta, seventy miles east of Cape Coast Castle,...was formed by Captain Glover's force of Houssas and other native auxiliaries... In our view, several conical mounds of earth, nearly six feet high, will be remarked in the foreground. These are the ant-hills, of which naturalists have often spoken, as common in West Africa and other tropical regions'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
