Actually...yes it is true. Leif Ericsson and his band from Greenland landed in North America 500 years before Columbus. We have settlements in Newfoundland (a Norse name BTW) and evidence that they ranged as far south as South Carolina.
Columbus only found a tiny island in the Caribbean and he thought he was off of the coast of China. -----Original Message----- From: Sam [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, October 11, 2013 8:37 AM To: cf-community Subject: Re: With Columbus Day coming up... Because it's not true. While Columbus was no saint, this is mostly BS. Notice no references? .
