Bradley family, 1924

... that Herbert Edwin Bradley was criticised for taking his wife and six-year-old daughter on a gorilla-hunting expedition in 1921? "He wrote, “[T]his reputation is so firmly established in the popular mind” that his and Herbert Bradley’s decision to take women and a girl child in Central Africa “was looked upon as madness.”" from: Jones, Jeannette Eileen (September 2006). ""Gorilla Trails in Paradise": Carl Akeley, Mary Bradley, and the American Search for the Missing Link". The Journal of American Culture. 29 (3): 327. doi:10.1111/j.1542-734X.2006.00374.x.
- ALT1:... that after Herbert Edwin Bradley shot a gorilla on a 1921-22 expedition Carl Akeley said "it took all one’s scientific ardour to keep from feeling like a murderer"? " Akeley’s recounting of Bradley’s killing of the ape upheld the image of the gorilla as noble king of the jungle. Akeley commented that the animal had shown no sign of aggression; it just sought to escape and made no sound as the men gunned it down. He lamented, “it took all one’s scientific ardour to keep from feeling like a murderer” " from: Jones, Jeannette Eileen (September 2006). ""Gorilla Trails in Paradise": Carl Akeley, Mary Bradley, and the American Search for the Missing Link". The Journal of American Culture. 29 (3): 328. doi:10.1111/j.1542-734X.2006.00374.x.
