Adventure Stories:
From
the Odyssey to Indiana Jones
|
For
this is the marrowbone of every American adventure story: some men
with guns, going somewhere, to do something dangerous. Whether it
be to scout a continent in a covered wagon, to weld the Union in a
screaming Wilderness, to save the world for democracy, to vault seas
and rip up jungles by the roots and sow our seed and flag and spirit,
this has ever been the essence of our melodrama: some men with guns,
going somewhere, to do something dangerous."
