Description
Tinted lantern slide showing the waters of and vegetation around the Enyong Creek in Calabar. Around 1904, Mary Mitchell Slessor (1848-1915) used the Enyong creek as the starting point of her route up the Eyong river into Arochukwu, Abia State, to mission to the Aro people. The Enyong Creek stood within a rubber plantation, and was earlier known as a point for the transport of slaves from Arochukwu to coast and then on to the New World. This slide comes from a set on mission, culture and industry in Calabar, southeast Nigeria generated by the Church of Scotland and the United Free Church of Scotland (which was incorporated with the Church of Scotland in 1929.)
