Hard as Nails Travelers and Explorers (Hardcover)

If you've ever wanted to sail off the edge of the Earth, find gold and treasure, or boldly go where no one has gone before, read this entertaining book. Find out how the brainy and brawny explorers who were the first in history to brave oceans and cross mountains measure up against each other. From treasure-seeking conquistadors to adventurous space cowboys, some were brave soldiers, some were cruel conquerors, and some were just along for the ride. Full-color comic illustrations are splashed throughout the witty, bite-sized chunks of fact-filled text.
