Gracias a los escritos de Bartolome de las Casas conocemos parte de la vida de Cristobal Colon, sin embargo, nunca coincidieron. Las Casas se embarco hacia America en 1502 y residio en La Espanola hasta su retorno a Sevilla en 1506. Precisamente en 1502, Colon hizo su cuarto y ultimo viaje. Quiza estas dos notables figuras hubieran coincido, pero una tormenta hizo desembarcar a Colon en Jamaica donde permanecio hasta su regreso a Espana en 1504. El navegante genoves era treinta anos mayor que el fraile sevillano y murio dos anos despues en Valladolid, con poco mas de cincuenta anos. Las Casas falleceria casi medio siglo despues. Bartolome de las Casas fue uno de los principales biografos y relatores de las aventuras de Colon. Aunque algunos historiadores discrepan de ciertos detalles, no hay lugar a dudas de que nadie, en su epoca, estaba mejor documentado que el fraile dominico espanol. Tuvo acceso a sus diarios, a sus cartas, a los textos oficiales y a otros documentos.

Thanks to the writings of Bartolome de las Casas modern readers may know part of the life of Christopher Columbus. Las Casas sailed for America in 1502 and resided there until he returned to Seville in 1506. Precisely in 1502, Columbus made his fourth and last voyage. Bartolome de las Casas was one of the main biographers and reporters of the adventures of Columbus. Although some historians disagree on certain details, there is no doubt that no one in his time was better as a documentarian than the Spanish Dominican friar wh had access to diaries, letters, and other official texts and documents.
