In 1840, an acting troupe visiting St. Augustine fell victim to a Seminole attack.
A theatrical troupe and other travelers making their way by stagecoach to St. Augustine, was ambushed on the Picolata Road by Seminole chief Coacoochee "Wild Cat" and his warriors. One of the performers and four other passengers were killed.
Undaunted, the surviving thespians proceeded to St. Augustine where they conducted performances for the next two weeks.
Months later several Indians were spotted wearing Shakespearean costumes from the plundered baggage wagon.
