The Dragon and the Cross is a historical fiction novel written by Ralph Delahaye Paine and published in 1912. The book is set in the 16th century and follows the story of Juan de la Vega, a Spanish conquistador who travels to the New World in search of wealth and adventure. Juan and his fellow conquistadors encounter many challenges and dangers as they make their way through the jungles and mountains of the Americas. They battle fierce native tribes, endure harsh weather conditions, and struggle to find enough food and water to survive. However, Juan’s greatest challenge comes when he meets a beautiful native princess named Anacaona. Despite the cultural divide between them, Juan and Anacaona fall in love and begin a forbidden romance. Their relationship is further complicated by the arrival of a ruthless dragon, who threatens to destroy everything in its path. As Juan and Anacaona work together to defeat the dragon, they must also confront the religious and political tensions that exist between their two worlds. The Dragon and the Cross is a thrilling adventure story that explores themes of love, loyalty, and cultural conflict in a historical context.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
