Snyder, with thin black ink at the center of the blank first free front endpaper. "When Spanish settlers first arrived on the shores of La Florida in 1565, they would soon be immersed in one of the most dramatic struggles in human history. At first Florida seemed so inviting. A virgin tropical wilderness would be settled and cultivated to yield riches rivaling the bounty of gold and silver that treasure ships already brought back from Mexico and South America. At the same time, the peninsula might be inhabited by primative natives who would quickly accept Christiantiy and happily harvest a cornocopia of crops and husband food animals for the tables of Europe. No better man could King Philip II pick to lead the Enterprise of Florida than fearless, swashbuckling Pedro Menendez de Aviles. But he and his men soon found themselves confronting fierce and fearless native Americans who had been a proud kingdom longer than Spain itself. The Cross and the Mask chronicles the clash of religions, weapons and wills as a documentary novel faithful to actual dates and events. Through the eyes of the Spanish Menendez and the young Indian Lujo, we see two perspectives that led to death and devastation for both peoples." - from the inner front jacket flap. "A great read, with an almost uncanny ring of truth.and remarkably in sync with my sense of Indian-Spanish relations." - Robert S. Carr, Founder of Archaeological and Historical Conservancy, discoverer of the Miami Circle and author of Digging Miami. "The Cross and the Mask is a well-crafted story of ambition and intrigue, control and compromise, loyalty and determination during South Florida's volatile sixteenth century. Author Jim Snyder favors neither the invading Spaniards nor the indigenous Indian people, richly portraying both through well-researched descriptions and memorable characters. Their struggles, triumphs and failures will resonate with readers today in a world so rife with similar culture clashes." - William H.
