Text of the original catalogue

People Akan implemented in Côte d’Ivoire from the century on XV in the former kingdom of Bonduku coming from the Ghanaian region of Akwamu, south of the country. From where they had to flee due to conflicts of succession. Persecuted by the Ashantis, they took refuge in territory Nafana Bonduku, after doing it in Kumassi. After submitting to the Kulango of Buna and Nassian and their own Nafana who had given them asylum, set up a powerful kingdom that dominates the region until the two expeditions undertaken by the Ashantis that manage to kill King Abron Abu Mry near Kong in the first and subdue them in the second, making them their vassals, until the arrival of the English in 1874 I must surrender later and lend vassal to the great Samory. Despite all the historical vicissitudes, an organized abron kingdom still stands.
