Herbert Lang

In 1903, Lang, then 24, emigrated to the U.S. and began working at the American Museum of Natural History.

He made his first field expedition to Kenya in 1906, returning with 178 mammal and 232 avian samples.

Lang led the expedition, until the outbreak of World War I in 1914.

Lang returned to Africa, accompanied by Rudyerd Boulton, in 1925 and collected 1,200 mammal specimens, including the rare giant sable antelope.
