I want to thank the staff of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City for their assistance and research materials on the Ake-ley Hall exhibit and for suggesting the purchase of a video about it called Brightest Africa. Carl Akeley made five trips to Africa to study, hunt, and collect specimens; his displays capture the animals and habitats down to the smallest detail.
The Discovery cable TV channel was a tremendous help and inspiration with its African features and safari programs each week. National Geographic magazine was also helpful with numerous stories and pictures.
I am most appreciative, to the staff of the Augusta/Richmond County Library for assistance with research materials and for suggesting numerous books of great value. In one, I was lucky to find a list of laws and regulations by the IBEA Company for safaris in 1896. In another, I was inspired by William Holden’s Journey Through Kenya, a wonderful book of large pictures in vivid color and with detailed text.
