"For Osa, too, these years, from 1924 to 1927, were an especially significant period. After seven years of touring the vaudeville circuit, and seven more of exploring the South Seas and Borneo with occasional lecture tours worked in stateside to raise more capital, the Johnsons' complex at Lake Paradise was the first relatively permanent home the coup had had since that little flat they started out in back in Independence. Osa not only brought all her Kansas skills to bear on turning her Kenya house into a home, she also was largely responsible for managing the roughly two hundred "boys" needed to build the place and keep it running, as well as for organizing the several safaris the Johnsons undertook in the course of those years. When they were on safari (a term which incidentally, the Johnsons introduced to the American lexicon), whenever she was not involved in filming--either providing rifle cover for Martin or performing her own star turn in front of the camera, Osa was hunting and fishing to provide meat for the entire entourage." - May Zeiss Stange

Forgotten Africa
This book came with high expectations. It arrived quickly and exactly as described. I found all the pages intact, the binding tight and the reading delightful.
The sad part is knowing the Johnson's have long departed for The Undiscovered Country, as we all must. The good part is that they left their experiences for us to join them in spiriit, along with wanting to have known them and perhaps sat down in their handmade home beside that distant crater lake. With courage and smiles, and perhaps a drink or two, darkest Africa becomes a lot warmer. Their love affair of that part of Africa transcends the years between then and now, and I find them the kind of people that make exploration and discovery fun and exciting, even from an armchair. Thanks for this book, it is at the front of my shelves.
