Osa Johnson's 9.3x62

[BFaucett]

You've made me a fan. I ordered four of them, I found them at Thriftbooks. Two of them were labeled collectible: Four Years in Paradise & Osa Johnson Jungle Friends. Can't wait to read them and add them to my collection.

Good deal!

I think you'll enjoy Four Years in Paradise. I did. Lots of photos in my original copy. I haven't read any of Osa's books for children. I might need to look into that.

Cheers! Bob F.

If one gets the opportunity, I'd like to encourage everyone to go visit the Martin & Osa Johnson Safari Museum and visit the city of Chanute, Kansas.

My friend and I certainly enjoyed our weekend trip to Chanute back in 2008. The museum is kind of small but it contains many interesting items. We were able to see everything in about 2 to hours or so.

Chanute is a small city with a population of about 9,000. It was great for me to escape "the big city" (Houston) and enjoy the charms of a small town. Relaxing. Very friendly people. BTW, the city was named after aviation pioneer Octave Chanute.

Just a suggestion... Cheers! Bob F.


At the risk of seeming like I work for the Chanute Chamber of Commerce, here's a couple of short (about 3 minutes or so) videos:
