		Hall wrote that "A fair amount of cotton is grown in the colony, for native use, and a considerable amount of yarn is spun and woven..." Most weavers in the Sherbro area are Mende-speaking residents.

		While the Governor informed him that Sherbro was in the Colony and was therefore unaffected by the tax, he informed the other chiefs they would have to comply with the new regulations.

		Farmers in Sherbro country persist to this day with panicle harvesting as a way of ensuring the separation of distinct classes of planting material, in order effectively to manage catenary soil sequences under conditions of labour shortage.
		In contrast, farmers in districts with the sickle now have to renew their planting material from central sources every few years, because types and offtypes are reaped together.
		Sherbro farmers in the 18th century had no such options.

		Perhaps, the book's real contribution is that it will take its place alongside the many books that have catalogued the history of trade in the Sherbro region during the period considered and the tactics and great effort by the British officials in pursuit of colonial expansion.
		Already the book has engendered considerable interest among Sierra Leoneans from the Sherbro and Bonthe region, even among the Tuckers, some of whom feel that their side of the Tucker clan has been left out.
		Some descendants of the Caulkers from Shenge are lukewarm about the book, holding out that the book has not objectively treated their family's contribution to the fight against British colonisation during the period.
