Book Description
"Those blank places on the map weren't colored in by themselves--men of daring went out and risked their lives to fill in the lines. From the jungles of the Amazon to the deserts of China to the buried vaults of Egyptian kings, intrepid explorers bravely ventured into the unknown, drawn inexorably forward by the thrill of discovery. In Adventure! more than twenty tales of fiction and nonfiction capture the excitement of an age when bold men--in pursuit of treasure or glory or both--braved ancient curses, gigantic spiders, dangerous [indigenous] tribes, harsh desert crossings, vampire bats, and, of course, endless numbers of very large snakes"--Page 4 of cover.
