Here is the full text of the biography of
Las Casas by Francis Augustus MacNutt. It has been converted
to an e-text, which is freely available through Project
Gutenberg at:
http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/23466,
It is available in a variety of formats, including PDF and
HTML. The biography is marred by a few racist remarks
typical of the time, but it does contain a complete
translation into modern English of the Brevissima Relacion
(which you're of course welcome to take and use any way you
like). |

Also freely available through Project
Gutenberg is a much older English translation of the
Brevíssima Relacion at:
http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/20321
.This version has an unfortunate anti-Catholic
introduction, and is a little bit abridged, and of course
the English is very old-fashioned (but intelligible). |
