Photographic summary of the African Caravan (PDF)

Upon returning from Madison, WI I began looking at pictures and scans. This is a sampling that tells the story of the Wally Byam African Caravan in 1959. Most of the pictures come from the estate of Helen Byam Schwamborn. The very last picture was taken by Brad Norgaard. He has done a bang-up job on making an accurate model of the African Scout Truck. Really nice Brad.
