"Katharine led two expeditions in Sierra Leone. She earned her nickname, the Gold Missus, on the second trip, which was for the London-based Maroc Gold Company. 'I was to prospect throughout the concession that they had been granted to look for new areas to mine. I would be searching the hills for the source of gold in the gravels and exploring in the bush. This was the life that I loved. I felt confident that I knew the country, the ways of the natives and how to choose carriers. . . . There was no question of my refusing.' She traveled extensively throughout the unmapped regions of Sierra Leone, living in the native villages she passed through. 'My workers . . . spread tall tales about the Gold Missus who had very powerful juju and could find gold in the gravels and hills.'" - Polk and Tiegreen, Women of Discovery.
