"In the province of Cicao on Haiti, where [Columbus] and his men imagined huge gold fields to exist, they ordered all persons fourteen years or older to collect a certain quantity of gold every three months. When they brought it, they were given copper tokens to hang around their necks. Indians found without a copper token had their hands cut off and bled to death."

"It seems to me that they value copper more than gold."
Pg 150 Dr Chanca.

"For many had come on this voyage with the idea that the moment they landed they would load themselves with Gold and would immediately be rich men and as things had not succeeded for them according to their hopes they were discontented.
Pg 159 Hernando Colon (Christopher Columbus's son)

"Many of them wearing pieces of gold round their necks, and some with pearls tied round their arms, I was delighted by this last sight, and tried to discover where they found these pearls."
Pg 213 Christopher Columbus.

"When I discovered the Indies I said that they were richest domain in the whole world in respect of gold, pearls, precious stones, spices, and trade and markets, and because all these things were not produced at once I was subjected to abuse. Because of this ill treatment I now report nothing except that which I learnt from the Natives of the land. One thing I dare to say, since there are so many witnesses to it, and this is the land of Veragua I saw more evidences of gold in the first two days than in four years in Hispaniola."
Pg 299 Christopher Columbus.

"Gold is most excellent, Gold constitutes treasure, and anyone who has it can do whatever he likes in the world. With it he can succeed in bringing souls to paradise."
Pg 300 Christopher Columbus

"I ordered that a Lombard and a musket be fired, and the King was spell bound when he saw the effect of their force and what they penetrated. When the people heard the shots, they fell to their knees. They brought me a large mask, which had large pieces of gold in the ears and eyes and in other places, which the king himself presented to me. He placed this, along with other jewels of gold, on my head and around my neck. The king was delighted to see me happy and he understood that I desired a great deal of gold."

"They have no iron or steel or arms and are not capable of using them."
Pg 117 Christopher Columbus

"In Conclusion, to speak only of the results of this very hasty voyage, their highness can see that I will give them as much gold as they require, if they will render me some very slight assistance; also I will give them all the spices and cotton they want, and as for mastic, which has so far been found only in Greece and the island of Chios and which the Genoese authorities have sold at their own price, I will also bring them as much aloes as they ask and as many slaves, who will be taken from the idolaters."
Pg 122 Christopher Columbus

"This second expedition was designed to relieve the men who had remained there, to settle more colonists and to conquer the island together with all the others that had been discovered and those that they hoped remained to be discovered."

"An incident of this time recorded by one of the admirals Italian lieutenants, Michele de Cuneo, throws additional light on the behavior to the Indians. While I was in the boat, I captured a very beautiful Carib woman, whom the said Lord Admiral gave to me. When I had taken her to my cabin she was naked as was their custom. I was filled with a desire to take my pleasure with her and attempted to satisfy my desire. She was unwilling, and so treated me with her nails that I wished I had never begun. But to cut a long story short I then took a piece of rope and whipped her soundly and she let forth such incredible screams that you would not have believed your ears. Eventually we came to such terms, I assure you, and that you would have thought she had been brought up in a school for whores."

"I implore you to recognize the church as a lady and in the name of the Pope take the King as lord of this land and obey his mandates. If you do not do it, I tell you that with the help of God I will enter powerfully against you all. I will make war everywhere and every way that I can. I will subject you to the yoke and obedience to the church and to his Majesty. I will take your women and children and make them slaves…The death and injuries that you will receive from here on will be your own fault and not that of his majesty nor of the gentlemen that accompany me."

"As soon as I came to the Indies, at the first Island I discovered I seized some Natives, intending them to inquire and inform me about things in these parts."
Pg 118 Christopher Columbus

"In this island of Hispaniola I have taken possession of a large town which is most conveniently situated for the goldfields."
Pg 120 Christopher Columbus.

"When the infantry squadrons of both armies had attacked the mass of Indians, and they had begun to break under the fire of muskets and crossbows, the cavalry and hunting dogs charged wildly upon them to prevent them re-forming. The Indians fled like cowards in all directions, and our men pursued them, killing so many."
Pg 189 Hernando Colon ( Christopher Columbus’s son)

"The terms of the agreement set out in the next chapter (81) guarantee the return of Roldan and his followers to Castile in two ships to be provided by the Admiral. Their seaworthiness would be approved by competent sailors, and they were to depart from the port of Jaragua suitably stocked with provisions. The exact amounts of bread and flour were specified. The returning settlers were to be confirmed in all their possessions, including the slaves that had been granted them, and were to take back all woman pregnant by them and all their children."

"The cost of a woman is 100 Castellanos, the same as that of a farm. The trade is very common and there are now many merchants who go about looking for girls, some of ages nine or ten are now on demand, but whatever their age they command a good price."

"The Natives are also among the poorest people on the face of the Earth, they own next to nothing and have no urge to acquire material possessions. As a result they are neither ambitious nor greedy and are totally uninterested in worldly power."
Pg 10 Bartolome De las Casas

"The Spaniards forced their way into Native settlements, slaughtering everyone they found there, including small children, old men, pregnant women, and even women who had just given birth. They hacked them to pieces, slicing open their bellies with their swords as though they were so many sheep herded into a pen. They even laid wagers on whether they could manage to slice a man in two at a stroke, or cut an individual’s head from his body, or disembowel him with a single blow of their axes. They grabbed suckling infants by the feet and, ripping them from their mothers breasts, dashed them headlong against the rocks."
Pg 15 Bartolome De las Casas

"All those who could do so took to the hills and mountains in order to escape the clutches of these merciless and inhuman butchers, these mortal enemies of human kind trained hunting dogs to track them down. Wild dogs who would savage a Native to death as soon as look at him, tearing him to shreds and devouring his flesh as though we were a pig."
Pg 16 Bartolome De las Casas

“They spared no one, erecting especially wide gibbets on which they could string their victims up with their feet just off the ground and then burn them alive.“
pg 16 Bartolome De las Casas

“Yet another member of the governor’s party galloped about cutting the legs off all the children as they law sprawling on the ground."
Pg 22 Bartolome De las Casas

“Indeed they invented so many new methods of murder that it would be quite impossible to set them all down on paper."
Pg 23 Bartolome De las Casas

"Not a single Native of the Island committed a capital offense, as defined in law, against the Spanish while all this time the Natives themselves were being savaged and murdered."
Pg 23 Bartolome De las Casas

"Both women and men were given only wild grass to eat and other unnutritions foodstuffs. The mothers of young children promptly saw their milk dry up."
Pg 24 Bartolome De las Casas

"During the three or four months I was there, more than seven thousand children died of hunger, after their parents had been shipped off to the mines."
Pg 30 Bartolome De las Casas

"A Spaniard who was out hunting deer or rabbits realized that his dogs were hungry and not finding anything they could hunt, took a little boy from his mother, cut his arms and legs into chunks with his knife and distributed them among his dogs."
Pg 74 Bartolome De las Casas

"He sent fifty men on horseback who proceeded to annihilate the entire population of an area greater than the county of Roussillon, sparing not a single man or woman, old man, or child, and this they did on the flimsiest of pretexts, accusing their victims of not coming quickly enough when they were summoned, or of not having brought enough cargas of maize or of not surrendering sufficient of their kinsmen as slaves either to the governor himself or to one or another of his henchmen. These men were driven by the Devil and not a single Native managed to escape, what with the land being as flat as it was and the Spaniards having horses."
Pg 37 Bartolome De las Casas

"They cut his head from his shoulders so they would not have to break the chains that held the line of prisoners together and his head would fall to one side of the baggage train and his trunk to the other."
Pg 38 Bartolome De las Casas

"After a day or two had gone by, several victims surfaced, soaked from head to foot in the blood of their fellows beneath whose bodies they had sheltered and, with tears in their eyes, pleaded for their lives, but the Spaniards showed them no mercy nor any compassion, and no sooner did they crawl out from under the pile of corpses than they were butchered. The Spanish commander gave orders that the leading citizens, who numbered over a hundred and were roped together, were to be tied to stakes set in the ground and burned alive. "
Pg 46 Bartolome De las Casas

"During these eleven years, more than two million souls have perished and, in an area of more than a hundred leagues by a hundred leagues, only two thousand survivors are to be seen, and even this number is shrinking day by day as the survivors succumb to the rigours of a life of slavery."
Pg 56 Bartolome De las Casas

"Once the Natives saw that their deep humility, generosity and submissiveness did nothing to soften the hearts of these ravening beasts, and that the Spaniards were prepared to hack them to pieces for absolutely no reason whatever, they decided that although they stood no chance of defeating ferocious enemies who were on horseback and were armed to the teeth, they might as well die as men in defense of their homes, avenging themselves on their wicked and hellish enemies, even though they were well aware that, weak as they were, on foot and unarmed, they were doomed to die whatever they did."
Pg 58 Bartolome De las Casas

"The Spanish captain, meanwhile requested the local dignitaries to bring him large quantities of gold, this being the main object of the expedition."
Pg 60 Bartolome De las Casas

"One of his officers was responsible for the indiscriminate slaughter of many locals, hanging some, burning others alive, and throwing yet others to wild dogs, sometimes sawing off their hands and feet, sometimes pulling out their tongues or hacking off their heads. Even though the locals never raised a finger against the Spaniards, the distinguished commander knowingly allowed this spate of atrocities to continue unchecked, directed as it was to terrorizing the local people into doing his bidding and into brining him gifts of Gold or other precious objects."
Pg 60 Bartolome De las Casas

"A man would be invited to choose from among the fifty or a hundred young girls the one he most fancied and she would then be handed over in exchange for wine or oil or vinegar, or for a side of salt pork."
Pg 70 Bartolome De las Casas

"One woman, who was indisposed at the time and so not able to make good her escape, determined that the dogs should not tear her to pieces as they has done her neighbors and, taking a rope, and trying her one-year-old child to her leg, hanged herself from a beam. Yet she was not in time to prevent the dogs from ripping the infant to pieces."
Pg 73 Bartolome De las Casas

"I testify that I saw with my own eyes Spaniards cutting off the hands, noses, and ears of local people, both men and women, simply for the fun of it, and that this happened time and again in various places through the region. On several occasions I also saw them set dogs on the people, many being torn to pieces in this fashion, and they also burned down houses and even whole settlements, too numerous to count."
Pg 112 Bartolome De las Casas

"They tortured him with the strappado, put burning tallow on his belly, pinned both his legs to poles with iron hoops and his neck with another and then, with two men holding his hands, proceeded to burn the soles of his feet. From time to time, the commander would look in and repeat that they would torture him to death slowly unless he produced more Gold."
Pg 117 Bartolome De las Casas

"I Bartolome de las casas, or casaus, a brother in the Dominican order was by the Grace of God, persuaded by a number of people here at the Spanish court, out of their concern for the Christian faith and their compassion towards the afflictions and calamities that be fall their fellow men, to write the work you have before you in order to help ensure that the teeming millions in the New World, for those sins Christ gave his life, do not continue to die in ignorance, but rather are brought to knowledge of God and thereby saved."

1792:
The first celebration commemorating Christopher Columbus's landing in the New World takes place in New York City on the 300th anniversary of his arrival. It was organized by the Society of St. Tammany, or the Columbian Order, widely known as Tammany Hall.

1860s:
Italian immigrants in New York (1866) and in San Francisco (1869) commemorate Columbus Day as a celebration of their ethnic heritage. The celebration of Columbus an Italian who sailed under the Spanish flag--remained a celebration limited to the Italian community for many decades. Most Americans viewed their history as stemming from Britain, and did not identify with earlier explorations of the New World.

1892:
President Benjamin Harrison issues a presidential proclamation on the 400th anniversary of Columbus' first voyage, urging Americans to commemorate the day as a holiday. The Pledge of Allegiance is recited publicly for the first time during the celebration.

1905:
Colorado becomes the first state to officially observe the holiday.

1937:
President Franklin Roosevelt proclaims Oct. 12 as Columbus Day.

1968:
President Lyndon B. Johnson declares Columbus Day a federal public holiday, to be celebrated on the second Monday in October, rather than on Oct. 12. The new Uniform Monday Holiday Act goes into effect in 1971.

1980s:
Historians, activists, and American First Nations question Columbus's status as an icon in American history, rejecting the Eurocentric view that Columbus "discovered" America the land had been populated by native peoples for millennia.
