The March To Coomassie is a historical novel written by George Alfred Henty in 1874. The book is set in Africa during the late 19th century and follows the story of a British army expedition to the Ashanti Empire, led by Sir Garnet Wolseley. The expedition aims to capture the Ashanti capital city of Coomassie (now Kumasi) and put an end to the Ashanti's dominance over the region.The story is told from the perspective of a young British officer named Frank Haldane, who is part of the expedition. Throughout the book, Haldane and his fellow soldiers face numerous challenges and obstacles, including difficult terrain, hostile tribes, and fierce battles with the Ashanti army. Along the way, Haldane gains valuable experience and learns important lessons about leadership, courage, and perseverance.The March To Coomassie is a thrilling adventure story that also provides a detailed and historically accurate portrayal of the Ashanti Empire and the British colonial presence in Africa during the late 19th century. The book is widely regarded as one of Henty's best works and remains popular among readers interested in historical fiction and military history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
