We celebrate a holiday for a man who was lost ,thought he found a passage to India and discovered Hipanola( the Carribean) not America. Leaf Erickson the Viking explorer actually discovered North America(Greenland) hundreds of years before Columbus. Columbus did encourage others to explore North America however ,where the European explorers introduced diseases such as small pox that eradicated more Native Americans than any bullets did. Happy Columbus Day anyway, hope you enjoyed your day off or if youve been furloughed, you already had the day off without pay.
