I Married Adventure: The Lives and Adventures of Martin and Osa Johnson

Summary: I Married Adventure review
Review: Though I am biased, since Osa Johnson was my grandfather's aunt, I have read this book a couple of times and have always found it to be well-written and easy to relate to. Osa was a woman ahead of her time, driving a truck, hunting fowl for dinner, and planting a garden with the help of hired African men, only to see it trampled by elephants. This story really gives a clear picture of what it was like to be one of very few American women traveling in undeveloped parts of the world in the 1920s and 30s.
