A classic memoir of two pioneering adventurers.

Before Joy Adamson went to Africa, before Margaret Mead sailed to Samoa, a Kansas teenager named Osa Leighty married pioneering photographer Martin Johnson. Together the Johnsons flew and sailed to Borneo, Kenya, and the Congo, filming Simba and other popular nature movies with Martin behind the camera and Osa holding her rifle at the ready in case the big game star should turn hostile. Illustrated with scores of the dramatic photos that made the Johnsons famous, this bestselling memoir retraces their careers in rich detail, with precisely observed descriptions and heart-stopping anecdotes.

Osa Johnson was born in 1893 in Chanute Kansas. She married Martin Johnson in 1910 and accompanied him on all his expeditions until 1937, when he was killed in a commercial plane crash. After Martin's death, Osa continued his work alone, traveling, making films and writing. In 1940 she published I Married Adventure, which became a world-wide bestseller. The book was published under the Kodansha Globe imprint in 1997.
