Re: Martin and Osa Johnson: African Big Game Safari 1935

Love that video of Osa Johnson shooting the Rhino. Would like to think I would handle it that well.







Yeah, she had grit. That's for sure!



Osa with her first rhino; 1923
(I zoomed in on a higher resolution version of this photo and I believe she's holding a Winchester Model 1895 in .405 Winchester. 1923 would be in the time period covered in her book Four Years In Paradise. Among some other rifles, they took three .405 rifles with them on that trip.)
