About this book

Ken Ward in the Jungle is by Zane Grey. The contents list chapter titles such as The Home of the Tarpon, Running the Rapids, An Army of Snakes and A Fight with a Jaguar, among others. Ken and Hal did not know that Tampico was as famous for fishing as it was for hunting.

Ken was well enough acquainted with sport to know something about tarpon, but he had never seen one of the great silver fish, and he was speechless when Hal led him into a room whose walls held mounted specimens of tarpon from six to seven feet in length and half as wide as a door. Deer troop down to the water's edge and wild fowl fly up-stream in proportion to the gathering shadows of twilight. George is burning up with fever and drinks a full cup, while Hal does not stir and Ken thinks it best to let him lie.
