Guess what expedition this was for?



Martin and Osa Johnson, the famous American photographers, in their 1923 African expedition. This list was taken off page 9 of "Safari- A Saga of the African Blue" by Martin Johnson published in 1928.



Care to guess how many porters it took to carry the 250 cases of stuff they moved to their base camp at Lake Paradise on the Northern Frontier (Kenya) and Abyssinian border?
