In the Congo your worst fears are never realized. Something that you didn't fear happens instead. --Mary Hastings BradleyMary Hastings Bradley records the events of a 1921 safari with her husband, Herbert Bradley, five-year-old daughter, and her friend, the renowned sculptor and taxidermist Carl Akeley.
