# Historia de las Indias (vol. 3 de 5)

By Bartolomé de las Casas.

"Historia de las Indias (vol. 3 de 5)" by Bartolomé de las Casas is a three-volume work written between 1527 and 1561. This chronicle documents the Spanish colonization of the Americas from Columbus's arrival in 1492 through 1520, largely from eyewitness testimony. Las Casas wrote to demonstrate the virtues of native peoples and condemn the brutality of conquistadores. The work also contains his profound repentance for once defending African slavery, acknowledging its injustice. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
