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". 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. "True Adventures for Boys" where Truth is more Dangerous than Fiction!
