Leif Erikson Day
AoSHQ: Morning Report 10.09.19
Obviously he was not the first to "discover" North America (Elizabeth Warren's "ancestors" did that). I doubt he was even the first European to do so (although this was probably the first organized expedition as opposed to an accidental sighting or land fall). Erickson did this almost five hundred years before Christopher Columbus's voyages.
