Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jungle Island A narrow mountainous strip of land running nearly east and west joins North America to South America. It is called the Isthmus of Panama. Almost ever since the time when Columbus landed there, it has been one Of the great highways of the world. Balboa, who struggled across the Isthmus through mountains, swamps, and jungles, not only found the Pacific Ocean. He brought back pearls and gold, and every Spanish explorer returned with news of the golden ornaments the Indians wore. The Spaniards wanted the gold for themselves. They took it away from the Indians, who could not protect themselves against the Spanish guns, and made the Indians bring more gold from the mines and treasure houses. Peru, on the western coast of South America, furnished most Of the gold, but there were also pearls from the little islands off the coast, and furs from the animals that ranged the great forests.
