The book describes their meetings with native tribesmen, going on hunts with them and Mr. Johnson, seeing a multitude of animals on their numerous treks from the base camp. 1935 news clipping (New York Tribune) is laid in about the boys' reunion in NYC. A factory duplicate rear endpaper is laid-in. A clean very presentable copy.
