| Summary | "A Camera Actress in the Wilds of Togoland" by Meg Gehrts is a travel memoir written in the early 20th century. The book recounts the adventures, observations, and experiences of Gehrts as she joins an expedition to film native life in Togoland, a then little-known region of West Africa. It features her journey as the first white woman to traverse this area, navigating the challenges of filmmaking amidst unspoiled wilderness and engaging with various indigenous tribes. The opening of the memoir introduces Gehrts's unexpected venture into the African interior after she is approached by Major Hans Schomburgk, the expedition's leader. She muses over the initial hesitations posed by the unknown dangers, the requirements of the project, and the dynamics of working with local tribes. This section also emphasizes the meticulous preparations needed for the journey, including logistics, camaraderie, and the unique experiences that would challenge her both personally and professionally. She anticipates a transformative adventure that will illuminate and document the rich culture of the indigenous peoples, fostering her growth amid the dramatic landscape of Togoland.
