Kansans Osa and Martin Johnson became world-renowned adventurers and filmmakers who recorded their daring travels and jungle experiences from the South Pacific to Africa. Documentaries such as Congorilla and Jungle Depths of Borneo and Osa’s book, I Married Adventure, captured the American imagination. Their legacy survives at the Safari Museum in Chanute, Kansas, which continues to preserve their fascinating story.
Historian Kelly Enright discusses her new book Osa and Martin: For the Love of Adventure, the first biography of the pair written for a general audience.
