Summary:
In 1856, Paul Du Chaillu marched into the equatorial wilderness of West Africa determined to bag an animal that, according to legend, was nothing short of a monster. When he emerged three years later, the summation of his efforts only hinted at what he'd experienced in one of the most dangerous regions on earth. Armed with an astonishing collection of zoological speciments, Du Chaillu leapt from the physical challenges of the jungle straight into the center of the biggest issues of the time.
