Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies‚ Bartolomé de Las Casas vividly describes the brutality wrought on the natives in the Americas by the Europeans primarily for the purpose of proclaiming and spreading the Christian faith. Las Casas originally intended this account to reach the royal administration of Spain; however‚ it soon found its way into the hands of many international readers‚ especially after translation.

Jean-Baptiste de La Salle I enrolled in this class‚ Lasallian Philosophy on Education I had no idea who St. La Salle was.

At some point‚ after Las Casas provided a copy of his
