I Married Adventure
Tuesday, July 27th, 2010
I saw this book, I Married Adventure, online a few weeks ago and the title made me chuckle because, to me, no truer words could be used to describe marriage. It is an adventure! Osa Johnson’s book is about the adventures she and her husband, Martin, had as photographers, explorers, marketers, naturalists and authors while studying the wildlife and peoples of East and Central Africa, the South Pacific Islands and British North Borneo during the first half of the Twentieth Century. They explored then-unknown lands and brought back film footage and photographs, offering many Americans their first understanding of these distant lands. While your marriage may not be about this kind of adventure, it will be an adventure nonetheless. The book is now a collector’s item, especially for decor enthusiasts; it’s a great wedding gift for the right couple.
