In 1502 he went out and settled in the West Indies and soon became the advocate of the Indians against the terrible wrongs committed by their conquerors. This drew on him the animosity of his countrymen and was not successful in stopping the atrocities. He returned to Spain in 1515 and appealed to his Sovereign, whose untimely death upset his endeavours. Wearied out by his fruitless efforts he retired to a Monastery in Santo Domingo and spent eight years in study and writing. Publication of his books was at first forbidden, but after a lapse of twelve years these tracts, which form one of the most gruesome books ever written, were finally published. [408] LAS CASAS.
