Max Esser was an adventurous young merchant banker, a Rhinelander,
who became the first managing director of the largest German
plantation company in Cameroon. This volume gives a vivid account
of the antecedents and early stages as experienced and described by
Esser. In 1896 he ventured, with the explorer Zintgraff, into the
hinterland to seek the agreement of Zintgraff's old ally, the ruler
of Bali, for the provision of laborers for his projected
enterprise. The consequences, many optimistically unforeseen, are
illustrated with the help of contemporary materials. Esser's
account is preceded by a look at his and his family's connections,
added to by an account of newspaper campaigns against him, and
completed by an examination of his Cameroon collection, which he
gave to the Linden Museum in Stuttgart.
