Ken Ward in the Jungle
1912, Second Edition. Grosset & Dunlap, New York. A near fine copy in the publisher's original title-blocked, pictorial cloth. Slightest suggestion only of dust-dulling, with minimal edgewear. Remains particularly well-preserved overall; tight, bright, clean and strong. ; 308 pages; Impressively illustrated, including a frontispiece. Ken Ward and his kid brother Hal take a trip into the wilds of Mexico - Ken to try his hand at field work and Hal, a budding naturalist, to collect specimens. Chased by herds of wild pigs and in constant peril from alligators, tropical fever, and vicious ticks, the boys prevail. Ken succeeds in mapping a large expanse of country and Hal gathers many valuable specimens in this thrilling portrait of the beauties and terrors of the jungle. Item #50404
