Title: Adolphus Clemens Good Papers
Description: Adolphus Clemens Good was appointed in 1882 by the Board of Foreign Missions to the West Africa Mission of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. Initially assigned to the Baraka Station, he was transferred to the Ogowe River area in 1884 and spent the bulk of his career there. In addition to his work as a teacher and evangelist, Dr. Good studied bird and animal life in the Ogowe Valley and in the Cameroon, as well as the ethnology and religious beliefs of various West African tribes. He also prepared a text on Bulu grammar which was published posthumously. Consists of Dr. Good's journals and notes, his papers on the religious beliefs of the Gabwa and the role of women among the Bulu, and miscellaneous Bulu language items. The collection also contains various personal items, including letters sent to his widow, Lydia B. Walker Good. View the collection guide to learn more.
