I was very impressed by your website. I am an avid researcher on anything I can find on our country. The more I learn the more I am facinated. The combination of history, culture, and enviroment was well balanced. With anyone who new nothing of Liberian, after being on this website, they would come of more knowlegeable than alot of Liberians. Thanks for this great tribute to our country. You research on the Amistad greatly facinated and provoked more thought on my part. Thanks for that. Keep up the good work.

Twice i met Mr. Edward Kofi of Monrovia from African Christian Fellowship International. He had taken into his care an incredible number of orphans from the war. I also had a friend who went to Liberia two times to help with Christian Education amoung the Orphans. And now it is on my prayer list to pray for the village work in Liberia that the Gospel of Jesus and his love might grow in the hearts of the children and so fill the land and overcome the darkness. I appreciated the information on Liberia, the capsule of history, and also the access to discussion on what is currently happening, which i believe was my ultimate goal.

I have been researching information on the Liberian Civil War, specifically the years 1991 to 1996, for a narrative that will accompany my Father-in Law's nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize. Your site and the attached links are the most comprehensive information and the most personal accounts I have found. I am a copy editor so I have noticed many typographical errors in the text. This may seem petty but I can't help myself. Otherwise your website is very engaging, and it is sad. The account of the massacre at Harbel in 1993 states that the AFL was responsible (I have read this in other accounts also, such as Accord's), however, Retired General Robert G. Yerks (my Father-in Law) visited the site soon after on behalf of President Sawyer, and he determined that the NPFL had attacked the people there and a very small contingent of AFL soldiers tried to repel them. I would like to know how the United Nations (?) investigators reached their conclusion. General Yerks had nothing to gain by lying and he is considered a great friend of Liberia by many people. He was the unofficial negotiator in Monrovia during June 1996 who helped the people under siege in the Barclay Training Center. He personally visited Kakata and forced Vice Chairman Taylor to clear his NPFL soldiers from the territories held by ULIMO-J, the AFL, and LPC. All the leaders are murderers, including Taylor: He was interested in helping the innocent civilians in the BTC and Monrovia by diffusin! g an explosive situation. He is trusted by all the leaders of the warring factions because he remains completely impartial to any party and is only interested in helping the Liberian people rebuild their schools, overcome poverty and malnutrition, rebuild Liberia's infrastructure and hospitals... Also, through mediation with President Taylor, perhaps he can in some small way help steer the President toward a more equitable and fair democracy. In this area, your country has a long, long road to travel and it will take many small steps but with patience there may be some happiness for the future generations of Liberians. I am telling you all this because, perhaps, he can help you or you can help him. The internet is a tremendous way to reach a lot of people. General Yerks and his wife will be living in Monrovia again starting in March, and he will be working to help rebuild the economy by bringing in more foreign investment and jobs. I know he will also do whatever he can to hel! p the humanitarian efforts of Susukuu and other NGOs. Your account of what happened to your family is heartbreaking. You have my deepest sympathy, also my admiration for what you are doing here. I wish you the all the best.

Greetings Mr. Tellewoyan, I admire the work, you are doing on your website. I have many questions about Liberia and you have answered many of them. Thank you. There is an individual here, an MP, who has made public claims that he was an advisor to Samuel Doe. His name is Gurmant Singh Grewal. Have you heard of this man? Do you have any info on him? Our family has some members who are originally from Haiti, and we have noticed many parallels with Liberia. We wish you well.

Hi, I could not stop myself from sending you this email. Someone I know will be relocating to Liberia for a few years so as a curiosity I searched for any information I could find about your country and came across your website. What horrific tragedies the people of Liberia have suffered! Being that the civil war is over, is Liberia a relatively safer place to live? After having paid 2 visits to South Africa recently (and thinking THAT was dangerous), it appears to me that Liberia is even more so, with the civil unrest and general crime. If you have a couple of minutes, I'd love to hear your thoughts? Have you been back there lately?

I am currently doing research about the Antelope Case of 1825. Your website has been a big asset to me!

Sir, Thank you for the time and effort spent in building an interesting Web site about Liberia. I am interested in finding out information about a leper colony in Liberia. I am not sure of the name, perhaps "New Hope Town"? I am researching the activities of an American missionary there. Her name was Florence Steidel. The information I have indicates that she died in Liberia on April 5, 1962 and was buried there. I I am not trying to find out how she died; I am more interested in how the town came to be and whether it is still there, etc. I would be most grateful of any information you are aware of regarding these matters. Regards,

hello mr. tellewoyan, i read your webpage and i must tell you that i am impressed with what you've published. i know it must have taken up alot of your time to do all that research. keep up the good work. the fact that you went through all the trouble to do this says alot about who you are. keep up the good work.

I make documentary films in France and abroad, and now I am working on a project of film about Liberia. First I want to precise that I am not a journalist, so I am not interested only in facts connected with news. For example, my last movie called "the country of modest men" was about Christian Mennonites communities in Belize. I worked on it during 2 years, made different trips in Belize and directed it last year during two months. What I want to say is that I like to take my time to understand things, to meet people... in order to try to understand a subject. I made a trip in Ghana and in Ivory Coast two years ago that's where I heard about Liberia. Since When, I often read books about that country (they're not easy to find in France !) and try to get informations through Internet. I must say that I found your work very interesting and complete, so thank you for all these informations. Right now, I am very interesting in two main points: -first, the settlement of the first americano-liberians people (the first 50 years of the Liberia) and -second point, the civil war from 1981 to the Ajuda "cessez-le -feu"...

Sir: Thank you for putting up an informative web site.

Hello Mr. Tellewoyan, Firstly, let me commend you on a well-written article on the History of Liberia - which I am studying out of personal interest. It saddens me, as an Afro-African (from Kenya) , to read of the "rascist(?)" policies that were adopted by the freed slaves against their brothers on their return to Liberia. It makes all this talk of "the white man oppressing the black" seem like hogwash. How could this so called 'educated people of color' treat their own kindred in such degrading ways as 'indentured-servant programs'? No wonder the notion of 'black unity' still evades us till today?

I am looking for any information on my greatuncle Stephen Tolbert born June12,1919. My family have not seen him since 1949. This is my grandmother's brother and she talk about him constantly.

Keep up the good work at what you are striving for.

My church was recently visited by a man I think you have heard of, Augustus Marweigh. He delivered wonderful stories about growing up in Liberia and was a great encouragement to us. During his last sermon, he invited us to take a coffee cup as a gift from him. Then each morning as we are drinking our coffee, he asked us to say a prayer for the people of Liberia and their healing from the civil war. I have been praying for your people, and am now interested to learn more about the people of your nation. I thank you for your website and its touching tribute to your family. I hope to use these resources to learn many wonderful things about the country you love.

I've just visited your site for the first time in quite a while. Only wanted to say how great is your achievement in chronicling our history in such a colorful, objective and scholarly manner. Layout, textual notes and historical sweep are all outstanding. I'm sure as time progresses, you will include even more in-depth and overlooked dimensions of our complex and great land. I think of Dr. George Harley of Ganta, the women's suffrage movement, the writings of Hillary Teage, as well as information on the wisdom and beauty of indigenous culture, specifically in the arts. Thank you.

Dear Mr. Tellewoyan, My name is...... and I'm a Liberian. I had the honor of viewing your page a few minutes ago while surfing the web and I was very impressed. I'm a Ph.D candidate at Alabama A&M University and my area of specialization is genetic engineering/molecular genetics. My purpose for writing is to informed you that I would like to contribute an article to your site. I would like to write an article on a topic related to the sciences maybe, something along the line of molecular biology. I would somehow want to link it to Liberia(benefit). I have lived in the states since I was a little girl so, I'm hoping that this subject matter would be a learning experience for me as well. I would like to ask your help in getting started. I'm "green" behind the ears when it comes of Liberian politics and so, I must choose my words carefully. If it is not too much of a bother, please suggest a few topics for starters. I would also appreciate your help as an editor. Once the paper is completed, all contributing authors will be listed and will receive full credit. What do you think? To learn more about me, please view my web page at:

I lived in Liberia in 1985 and found the information on your site to be very accurate and informative. I was only 15 a the time, but the events as I remember them, are portrayed truthfully.

Very informative as to Liberian history, and culture. good links

Hello. I was in the Peace Corps in Liberia from December 1976 to December 1978. From time to time I find myself in a mood of deep conscience and pondering about the events that have transpired since then. Recently, I came across a citation of Mark Huband's book -- which you cite widely in your website -- and I am now reading it. I am about halfway through it. I sincerely hope that events there have turned the corner and that the worst is past. I lost two good friends to the conflict: a co-teacher and close friend, at whose house I stayed when I first went to my work site, and the man who was the principal for the school where I taught for my second year there. My co-teacher's wife lost an eye at a refugee camp in Ivory Coast. Please visit my website and have a look at my c.v. -- page all the way to the bottom and read the brief statement on Liberia under 'Other Information' just near the end. I have had that on my c.v. for about twelve years or so. If you !
have the time, drop me an email. Your site is the most magnificent single source of information on Liberia that I have ever found, in print or on the Web. Thank you

Keep up the good work. We need web pages like yours to show our children so that they can learn a little bit about their homeland.

: Congratulations on a fascinating website! I can't get enough of Liberian history and this site contains a lot of new facts. Please consider writing a definitive book on Liberian history.

This is my second perusing of this web page. On first reading through it, I suggested by e-mail that you write a book on Liberian history. Now I see that you have. I can't wait to read it. Most Americans aren't aware of Liberia's rich history and so much about Liberia is and, apparently, always was kept a secret. Nothing, to my knowledge, has been written about Harper. Is it true that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers had a hand in building it up? I have only seen a single photo of it. Why is it kept such a secret? Also, what about the settlers who settled Buchanan and Greenville in central Liberia? Is it true that a large number of them went into the interior and joined native tribesmen? I have also wondered about why the U.S. government didn't place more settlers in Liberia and support them more severely. Instead, they let small groups of southern whites handle the emigration of black Americans. I recently read some material written by the Liberian Exodus Society that was written in 1878. Some of it was undoubtedly whitewash, but it was, nonetheless, fascinating. I look forward to reading your book and let's hope that trouble-free times are in store for Liberia in the future.

a horrible business-i pray for the people of Liberia.

I found the information to be very useful and informative. However, I was not only saddened by the pictures and tales of war and destruction but by comments concerning personal and general relationships between so called African Americans and Africans. First of all for me people are people all with one Father and creator. Second it is sad to think you and I both will be judged by the color of our skins but you would further differentiate yourself from me because you were born in Africa and only my ancestors originated there. I get the Wall street Journal and there have been many articles concerning African Americans and Africans. I know it isn't the country, the culture, or the ancestral background but the who you are that's important and will make or break any relationship, friendship or whatever. I have friends who are White, Mexican, Persian (Iranian), Pakistani, African, etc. I just accept them as people that I care about and try to treat with the respect and care that I would want to be treated with. I respect their right also to feel loyalty and close to their kin but not to a race or whole clan of people they don't know just because they are their people when it comes down to it we are all each others people. As for a personal relationship with an African man, I would be honored. And I don't like to cook. I've done it enough in my life time but I love to do things for the man I love (when I have one or if I had one) especially if he treats me with love and respect. Selfishness isn't a trait of all people (females of a race or culture) and racial bigotry isn't either. Whether you know it or not the story has it that the American Black is just an African whose brother sold him into slavery and the white man just profitted from our own ignorance ,self hatred and jealousy. But forgive me and please take no offense, I'm sure I ask that of you to late but yours is a wonderful wealth of information on a place and subjects I was longing to know about I am sure you did not do this for my benefit and I am so sorry that events touched you closely and precipitated you constructing this web site but I do thank

As we will be hosting Liberian visitors studying at the School of Public Health, I searched the web for information on Liberia. Of the many web sites I found, yours was by far the best in terms of information and organization. I thank you for your public service to Liberia and in honor of your family members killed in the Liberian civil war.

I was just wandering around the internet after reading the latest news in "The Prospective" and you've made me use up half my afternoon! What a great read and an education to me. I'm an American who has been "adopted" by a Liberian family and taken to their huge hearts. It's nice to know more about their heritage. I'll also be more knowledgeable on my next trip to Liberia. Thanks,

I am a Sierra Leonean with family connections in Liberia. I spent many holidays in Liberia as a boy. I commend you for recording the horrors that transpired in Liberia. Hopefully instead opf revenge, I hope your story will inspire determination to ensure that this episode will NEVER AGAIN be repeated. A vibrant and prosperous Liberia will be the best revenge. But can such reconstruction beging with Taylor in charge? May God Bless you and the peop[le of Liberia.

My father is a Liberian and I grew up with the culture while still in America until I moved to just live with my mother. My culture has been lost ever since and I have been fighting to reclaim it. I plan on visiting Liberia for the first time this summer! I miss eating the food and I wanted some recipes and general information. I think your site has been informative and I learned a lot! I wish that there were more pictures and links to other pages with practical information on Liberia. Thank you so much for making this site and I hope that you will expand on it in the future

Thank you for all the pages that you have put together, I have been brought up with my european heritage and what I have read has been informative. I would love to see pictures of Monrovia, and the beaches also what I would find really helpful is indications whereI could help oversease charities, scholarships etc I have a strong belief that education outweighs any amount of aid

I lived in liberia for 2 years (77-79) and went to St. patrick's school in monrovia. I have personally met some of the dead that you have documented in your site. I guess that if I were a dispassionate observer about to pass judgment on the value/suitability of the human race, it would be a no-brainer to say let them dissapear - the world will be a better place without them.

i LOOOOVED YOUR SITE. it was quite insightful and I love everything about especially the part about the food. I was adopted from liberia at 12 years old and I am now 22 years old. I have not really had good liberian food. So my mouth watered as you describe the food. Just mouth savoring. I try tofind anything on liberia on the net. I found the liberian connection, and thanks to your site much more. I have a post on the message boards entitle: desperate to meet some liberians' about my story. I am truly grateful. I do hope that you would include recipes on the food section. thank you , musu

Dear Mr. Tellewoyan: Thank you for the beautifully done website on Liberia. It is by far the most comprehensive one I have visited. My husband and I are in the process of adopting a Liberian child. He is five years old and currently lives in an orphanage in Monrovia. My husband will be traveling to Liberia in May to bring him home. We are trying to educate ourselves about the history and people of his land of birth. Please accept my sincere sympathy at the incredible losses you have experienced in your family and friends. My heart breaks as I read the stories of the past and that continue in the present with the deaths of the University students. Thank you again for your excellent web page,

i think your pages were truly touching. especially the page on the civil war. it just broke my heart. you see, although i was not in liberia during the war, i know all-too-well the horrors of the liberian civil war. i am 19 years old and from may 14,2001-august 20,2001, i lived on 4th street, sinkor, monrovia. i worked there with my family as missionaries. my main field was the ACFI monrovia orphanage home, which houses about 150 war orphans. they all told me about the nightmare of the civil war. i heard stories of all kinds of hatred and brutal violence. i saw armed rebel (government) soldiers constantly patrolling the streets. i saw a once gorgeous country completely and utterly destroyed. i met beautiful children who are forever scarred by the hell they endured. and yet i have met the sweetest most beautiful people on the earth. God has given me an overwhelming passion for your people, and i know that liberia is where i will spend my life and my love. may God richly bless you.--autumn rose

Your Web Page is very interesting about the Country and what the people of Liberia have gone thru. My neighbor's who are wonderful people and the best neighbors are from Liberia. They are my extended family. I have had the oportunity to visit Africa on a mission trip with my church. I have fallen in love with the continent of Africa and most importantly with the people. Your site certainly told me of the horrible things that Liberians have gone thru. My God Bless.--Kim DeTample

This is an excellent source for reliable information about Liberia. I congratulate you on it. Your scholarship and ability to summarize a complex history and society are remarkable. A question: what is Firestone's present situation in Liberia? I am a novelist ("Cloudsplitter," "Continental Drift," etc.) doing research for a novel. By the way, I discovered a used copy of your book on Amazon.com and ordered it instead of the CD. I look forward to reading it. I can't find the Bill Bolton book anywhere, however. Any suggestions?
Russell Banks

The contours of this suggestion is to make your bibliography balanced with works from both the indigenous and Americo-Liberian writers. Works by Liberian women should also be incorporated. I hope you will take my suggestions into consideration and, hopefully, implement them. From: Edward Lama Wonkeryor, Ph.D.

I sure wish I had such information on Liberia for history instead of the junk that we had as history of Liberia. I really appreciate your web site and want to commend you for the job well done. Is there any possibility of compiling such rich information into a text book for our schools back home? Even all that took place during the administrations of Tubman, Tolbert and Doe. Little did some of us know of their time what they did for the country. As for the Doe administration I have some ideas but we need all in text books. All the information that I am getting on the web on Liberia is amazing to me and I will like for others to know. Thanks Anthony G. Sackor

I would like to personally congratulate you for the effort and hard work that is evident on your site. Keep it up, it makes us proud to see Liberians performing at this level.

To be frank with you, I am very impressed with the extent and the quality of the information you have on your website. By reading through that information and in particular, the history of Liberia, one can look at and evaluate the root cause of some of the problems in Liberia. You may or may not have the answer to the Liberian problem, but you are heading in the right direction by giving us a medium(your web page) through which we can evaluate and debate the issues. Keep up the good work.--Francis Nimpson--

I had lived in Liberia during my high school years and have fond memories of those times. It was pre-war, about 1968-71. I'm very impressed with the website. It's design, technical expertise and number of people responding. I haven't read these words, fufu, or heard the names of native languages, Bassa, for so long. I will return to the website, but never cross the ocean again.

I found your site when looking for info about Liberia. Very nice and informative. I have added a link on my site to it, so everybody can enjoy it. I hope adding this link isn't a problem. If so, just let me know, and i will remove it from my site.My site can be found at:Greetings from Holland,--Jan Kersten-- To whom it may concern:Thanks a lot for such a great effort to bring to the reading public some salient information such as this on our beloved country.Information on Liberia development since our independence will be very vital to the curious and upcoming Youth of Liberia. Some recommendations: To further butress your work and induce more interest in reading your materials, lets look at the developmental aspects that most Western nations will be interested in to help the country especially during this period of hardship.THANKS A MILLION--

----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mr. Tellewoyan, I enjoyed every moment of your web page. it was very informative. I really enjoyed the information about the different ethnic groups and the history about the Africans that were captured as slaves. Most people do not know our history and do not want to understand the dept of our history. Today, we are repeating the same thing that the captures did to us in the eighteen hundreds, except that it is in a different form. The fact is that all Liberians have to realize that we are first Liberians and then our tribal connection. Please try to appeal to all of our fellow Liberians that we must be Liberians first. We have to show our love for our country inorder for other countries to respect us. My appeal to the males who are married to the African American females stop making them to believe that they are superior than you. Love should be given both ways. Once they are married to them they should treat them like equals. Majority of the African American female do not want to be bother with the African male relatives and that is wrong. Thank you once again for the information. I will definitely continue to read your website and send you information to put on your site regarding the our beloved country.

Thank you for the informative tour of your site. It has given me knowledge of things that was not taught in school. I was helping my grandson with homework on ancient Liberian kingdom. Could you elaborate on it more or show us where we may find it. If so you may contact him via his e-mail address.

To tell you the truth your web page was the only one that gave me the information i was looking for. Maybe you should put a couple of pictures more, but the information is complete. As a conclusion, i would rate your site nine out of ten. Keep up the good work.

Quite interesting as i and my family lived at Mano River in the late 60's and early to mid 70's. Does anyone know of any site which might have further information relating to the area during that period?

Hello, My name is Aymar Ccopacatty, I am a Scultpture student at the Rhode Island School of Design. My heritage is mixed Aymara (indigenous South American) and North American. I learned to weave at the age of fifteen from my Aymara grandmother at Lake Titicaka in southern Peru. Weaving is something that I hold in very high regard. Indigenous peoples worldwide have woven for thousands of years in much color and diversity as a primary way of speaking about their world. I volunteer for an Aymara weaving organization in Bolivia. I am currently writing out a proposal for the Watson Fellowship in which I would travel around the world visiting Indigenous weavers from Alaska to Nigeria, India to Japan. I would be very interested to be invited to share weaving with your people/organization, could I list you as a contact in my proposal?
