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.
