Carl Christian Reindorf (31 May 1834 – 1 July 1917)[1] was a Euro-African-born pioneer historian, teacher, farmer, trader, physician and pastor who worked with the Basel Mission on the Gold Coast.[2] He wrote The History of the Gold Coast and Asante in the Ga language;[3] scholars consider the book a “culturally important” work and an increasingly important source for Ghanaian history. [4][5] The work was later translated into English and published in 1895 in Switzerland.[1] He used written sources and oral tradition, interviewing more than 200 people in the course of assembling his history.[6]
