| Summary | "The Blind Lion of the Congo" by Elliott Whitney is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows young Burton St. John, who is excited to accompany his adventurous uncle, the famous explorer George William Wallace, on a trip to the Congo for ivory hunting. Along with his friend Howard Critchfield, Burt embarks on a journey that promises thrill but also danger as they encounter the challenges and wonders of Africa. The opening portion of the book introduces Burt, a diligent student eager for adventure, as he sits down to dinner with his family. Their conversation is interrupted by the arrival of Burt’s uncle, George, who brings vivid tales of his past explorations. During dinner, George proposes a trip to Africa, which sparks Burt's enthusiasm despite his parents' worries. As George and Burt's excitement builds, George eventually secures permission for both boys to come along on the expedition. This sets the stage for an adventurous journey in the unfamiliar but alluring wilderness of the Congo, where the boys will undoubtedly face trials alongside their curious encounters with wildlife and locals.
