The Golden Anaconda: And Other Strange Tales of Adventure

by Elmer Brown Mason, John Locke (Introduction)

Officially, Elmer Brown Mason was a government entomologist in charge of the Gulf States. Privately, he journeyed to the dangerous corners of the world in search of adventure. In 1915-16, he turned his experiences into vivid, and fantastic, fiction set in the places he knew. In each of these ten stories, taken from The Popular Magazine and All-Story Weekly, Mason's scientist-adventurers visit strange places and encounter strange people and undergo often horrifying ordeals.

Listened to this via the Classic Tales Podcast (http://www.thebestaudiobooks.com/) which is a great source for classic literature in audio book form. The Golden Anaconda reveals exactly what kinds of stories the Indiana Jones movies were trying to imitate. Nothing like a ripping yarn like this to add a little excitement and adventure to your day.
