 MacDonald's portrayal of the force of attack parallels Thompson's account,

MacDonald noted that the survivors of this conflict were at that time scattered remnants in 'Nandi, Kavirondo or Ketosh'.Thompson (1883) noted that there was a district of Masai country known as Guas' Ngishu.The conflicts between the Guas' Ngishu/Masai and Wakwafi form much of the literature of what are now known as the Iloikop wars.
