Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Martin Johnson and his wife Osa Johnson were American adventurers and documentary filmmakers. In the first half of the 20th century an American couple, Martin and Osa Johnson-from Lincoln, Kansas and Chanute, Kansas, respectively-captured the public's imagination through their films and books of adventure in exotic, faraway lands. Photographers, explorers, marketers, naturalists and authors, Martin and Osa studied the wildlife and peoples of East and Central Africa, the South Pacific Islands and British North Borneo.

Martin Johnson took part as a crew member and cook in Jack London's 1907-1909 voyage across the Pacific aboard the Snark
