| - "Congo, January 1917" is the sixth episode of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, and the sixth episode in season one. The episode originally aired on ABC on April 8, 1992. For home video, it was paired up with "German East Africa, December 1916" to become Oganga, The Giver and Taker of Life. The episode pairs nicely with the previous episode ("German East Africa, December 1916") as it is the continuation to both the storyline in 1916/1917 (the mission across the Congo is told in two parts: the first part, traveling westward, and the second part, the return trip), and to the bookends segments (Jones is in the hospital waiting room and tells the first part of his tale to a fellow patient, and then tells the second part of his tale to his doctor). While the episode is named after Congo, nearly all of the story takes place in the Gabon colony of French Equatorial Africa - which is in the Ogooué River basin, and not any part of the Congo river basin or the French or Belgian colonies called Congo. It may be that the name Congo, while not factually correct, would best convey the imagery and sense of the episode's setting to the television audience.
