Fox, Abraham Lincoln’s Assistant Secretary of the Navy, used the latter in his attempt to determine the first island on which Columbus landed. The second was the personal journal of Christopher Columbus from his first voyage, published in 1880. It is the foundation for the “ Black Legend” – a depiction that “blackened” Spanish character by depicting it as repressive, brutal, intolerant, and intellectually and artistically backward. Among the most important was Bartolome de las Casas’ three volume, “Historia de las Indias.” This book had been suppressed because it documented Spain’s harsh treatment of the Native peoples. In the mid-18th century, scholars brought to light long forgotten documents about Columbus and the early history of the New World. I wanted to understand the man who wrote the only accounts of the Native Bahamians, known today as Lucayans. My interest in this American icon began 35 years ago with a search for his first landfall. He died in 1506, and went virtually unmentioned until he was resurrected as a symbol of the United States. He refused to have his chains removed until the meeting and even asked in his will to be buried with the chains.Īlthough the Spanish rulers wanted Columbus to disappear, he was allowed one final voyage from 1502 to 1504. Columbus waited seven months for an audience at the court. Under authority from the King, Bobadilla arrested Columbus and his brothers and sent them to Spain in chains.
Bobadilla’s first sight, at the mouth of the Ozama River, was four Spanish “mutineers” hanging from gallows. Museo Nacional de Arte, CC BY-SAĬonditions were so dire by 1500, the Crown sent Francisco de Bobadilla to investigate.
