Father Bartolome De Las Casas is a biographical book written by Otto Waltz in 1905 that chronicles the life of Bartolome De Las Casas, a Spanish Dominican friar who became an advocate for the indigenous peoples of the Americas during the 16th century. The book explores De Las Casas' early life in Spain and his journey to the New World, where he witnessed the atrocities committed against the native populations by the Spanish conquistadors. It delves into his conversion to the cause of the indigenous peoples and his tireless efforts to advocate for their rights and protection, including his famous defense of their humanity in a debate with Juan Gines de Sepulveda. The book also examines De Las Casas' role in the establishment of the encomienda system, which sought to protect the rights of the indigenous peoples and his later years as a bishop in Chiapas, Mexico. Overall, Father Bartolome De Las Casas offers a comprehensive and engaging account of the life and legacy of one of the most important figures in the history of indigenous rights.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
