The Cross and the Sword

The Cross and the Sword

The Cross and the Sword is Florida's state play [http://list.webengr.com/pipermail/fhstoday/2003-May/001081.html] having received the honor by the Florida Senate in 1970. It depicts Florida's early history at St. Augustine especially its colonization by Spaniard Pedro Menéndez de Avilés and his settlers' conflicts with French interlopers at Ft. Caroline near present day Jacksonville.

A later book called the "The Cross and the Switchblade" was named partially as homage to the Florida play.
