Synopsis

You don’t read this book. You buckle your seatbelt and hang on until the last page, because packed within these pages are more adventurers, more daredevils, more rebels, more live-it-to-the-hilt men than roam the world today.
“Call to Adventure” reads like a “Who’s Who” of early 20th century romantic travel. Zane Grey relates how he got hooked on deep water fishing. Lowell Thomas explains how he crashed in one of the first planes ever seen in Spain. And those are the boring tales! Here are true tales of revolutionary firing squads, of getting shanghaied, avoiding cannibals, and dining with tribal chieftains famous for kidnapping their guests. It is one non-stop adventure, one non-stop challenge to take a deep breath and press on to the end with the greatest group of travelers and writers ever combined in one book.
Amply illustrated with photos of the period, “Call to Adventure” does exactly what its title announces. It calls you to adventure. The only question is, are you brave enough to answer?
