Heck, Columbus didn’t even make it to the mainland of North America. It’s time to get rid of the holiday and celebrate October 9th as Lief Ericson Day since he is the first European to have set foot in North America.
we’re not even sure Ericson was first – St. Brendan may have been here before. Leif and his men, though, are the first they are SURE were here. It certainly wasn’t Columbus

No he didn’t, he didn’t “discover” anything.
