ABSTRACT
It cannot be so very long ago that all these various tribes depended on the chase chiefly for their sustenance. All over the country one meets with the tradition of the foundation of the villages by some hunter, who finding the site good for 'meat', setded there and raised a family which eventually became a large village. There was once born in a Krachi village a wonderful boy, for no sooner had he arrived than he was able to walk and talk just as if he were a grown man. Quite possibly this is a remembrance of the defeat of the great Osei Tutu by the Ewe of Dahomey, to whom the Krachi are, as all other Guan people, closely related. Hunters, whether armed with arrows or guns, are everywhere looked upon as men imbued with much magical power or medicines.
