Spanish Cross in Georgia

By Bishop David Arias

Bishop Arias describes how the intrepid Spanish missionaries stretched along the coast and displayed an extraordinary dynamism, even reaching Virginia in 1570 and establishing a mission near present-day Williamsburg. However, eight of these heroes of the cross were massacred by native tribes. "Spanish Cross in Georgia" brings up the politics of the time and the rivalry between Spain and England in their quarrel for Georgia. The book finally gives an account on how the titanic effort of hundreds of heroic people were turned into ashes.
