Bewaffnete Bugandakrieger, 1911, von John Roscoe
James Frazer schrieb am 5. Februar 1908 aus dem Trinity College in Cambridge an seinen Freund Sir Walter Baldwin Spencer in Australien: „Also I wish if possible to relieve J. Roscoe of his mission work in Central Africa, and set him free there entirely for anthropology. We should learn very much from him. I know no keener anthropologist than he.“[1]
