Michael Wood follows in the footsteps of some of history's greatest Spanish conquistadors, relating the adventures of Hernan Cortes, Francisco and Gonzalo Pizarro, Cabeza de Vaca, and others in Mexico, Peru, the Amazon, and America.
Illustrations, maps, and text help retrace the paths of the Conquistadors from Amazonia to Lake Titicaca, and from the deserts of North Mexico to the heights of Machu Picchu.
