Kumasi is the distributing centre for the whole of Ashanti and the hinterland.
The railway to Kumasi from Sekondi, which was completed in 1903, passes through the auriferous region.
They sent out, therefore, to Kumasi, as consul, Mr Joseph Dupuis, formerly consul at Mogador, who arrived at Cape Coast in January 1819.
When walking, wear the Tranquil II, or the Kumasi Walking Shoe.
