In the two accounts of the Indies, both use very precise details on what they have discovered and found. However, both represent two different times in the Indies. Christopher Columbus’s account is during the time in which they were first discovering the Indies. The Account of the Devastation of the Indies is after the discovering and when the Spaniards have populated and colonized the Indies. Christopher Columbus’s attitude differs from the Bartoleme de Las Casas’s account in a way that Christopher Columbus is more amazed. He is writing on all of the new land and people that he has discovered. This makes his attitude more joyful and is overall very satisfied with his discovery. He assumes that these people are the nicest people in the world
