Roger’s paper on Bernal Diaz del Castillo
This paper was written by me for a Spanish course at Columbia University taught by Professor Ricardo Florit.
Bernal Díaz del Castillo (d. 1584) was a Spanish conquistador, who participated as a foot soldier in the conquest of Mexico with Hernán Cortés. He wrote his famous and justly praised memoirs, which have been translated into English: The True History of the Conquest of New Spain.

Roger W. Smith, essay on his dog Bambi (in Spanish)
Posted above is a brief personal essay of mine that was written as an assignment in an advanced course in the Spanish language taught by Professor Susana Redondo de Feldman, Chairman of the Spanish and Portuguese Department at Columbia University.
The essay consists of an evocative, affectionate sketch of our beloved family dog Bambi, who was living with my father in Massachusetts when I wrote the essay.
