Project Gutenberg 2007-11-13 Public domain in the USA. 1557 MacNutt, Francis Augustus 1863 1927 MacNutt, Francis A. (Francis Augustus) Bartholomew de Las Casas; his life, apostolate, and writings "Bartholomew de Las Casas; his life, apostolate, and writings" by Francis Augustus MacNutt is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work dives deeply into the life of Bartholomew de Las Casas, a Spanish Dominican friar famed for his strong advocacy against the mistreatment of Indigenous peoples in the Americas. Through this narrative, the author seeks to highlight Las Casas's role as a moral champion for justice and liberty during a period marked by exploitation and oppression. The opening of the text introduces us to the historical backdrop against which Las Casas lived and fought for those marginalized by colonial powers. It reflects on the initial idealism of European explorers towards the Indigenous people, only to be overshadowed by brutality and oppression as colonization took hold. The text details Las Casas’s early foray into the New World, the cruel realities faced by the Indigenous populations, and the failing efforts to uphold their rights. It sets the stage for further exploration of Las Casas’s transformation from a landowner and slaveholder into a passionate defender of Indigenous rights, driven by a profound sense of justice rooted in his faith and personal experiences.
