Whilecapturing anacondas in the jungles of South America, Adventurer Wandering Smithspies an orchid hunter, fleeing from a troupe of angry natives spewing poisonedarrows. But when this orchid hunterjoins the hunting expedition, it becomes clear that he thirsts for somethingother than rare orchids – he is also collecting the jewels used to adorn shrunkenheads.

ElmerBrown Mason is largely forgotten today, save for aficionados of pulp magazines.His great contribution to the genre of adventure fiction is his five storyseries about Wandering Smith. Isaiah Ezekiel, “Wandering” Smith can usually befound at Pere Guerrin’s , a rough hang out in New Orleans. His job is to helpanyone “who wants to go after something unusual in a strange place”.

The Golden Anaconda, was first published in 1916, and puts forward manyof the politically incorrect conceptions of the time. The attitude towardsindigenous peoples is offensive. Keep in mind that this was written nearlya hundred years ago, before World War I, before women had the right to vote,and many veterans of the Civil War were still alive. I would encourage parentsto have a talk with their children about how universal civil rights and theattitudes toward women has changed during the past 100 years, and use stories such as this one to mark our progress in betterrespecting and understanding one another.
