True Adventures for Boys

Gathered from the pages of Wide World magazine, the longest-running true-adventure magazine of the twentieth century,True Adventures for Boys is filled with thrilling tales for all brave boys from 7 to 70 ? a fresh-air manly world where the only thing to fear is fear itself, and where big boys don?t cry. Thrill to incredible-but-true tales of survival such as ?I Fell 20,000 Feet? or ?A Fight with a Leopard.' Cringe at the insanity of ?Over Niagara Falls in a Rubber Ball? and ?The Bird Man?s Final Gamble.' And Marvel at ?Buried Alive by a Dead Elephant? and be moved and astonished by the epic misadventure of Maurice Wilson?s 1934 solo assault on Everest ? probably the most amazing true story ever told....
