Any research I perform on the Internet provides me with lots of examples of Columbus' crimes and brutalities, but nothing seems to be directly cited at all. All articles about this aspect of Columbus just refer to Francisco de Bobadilla's '48-page report' that was thought lost but was 'recently discovered' in an archive in Spain.
Can someone please direct me to the scholarly research with documentation available to back up all this new info on Columbus?
What I'm really trying to say here is, help me find the evidence that Columbus was really as bad of a guy as everyone says he is.
If you are looking for information about that report, there's a book in Spanish: "La caída de Cristóbal Colón. El juicio de Bobadilla" by Consuelo Varela, published by Marcial Pons in 2006. Varela found the document and published her findings in that book, among other things related to the admiral.
