On October 11, 1492, Columbus claimed in his dairy that he saw a light that looked like it was from a candle. The next day, October 12, one of his crew members, Rodrigo de Triana, actually saw land. Nevertheless, Columbus stated his sighting was the first sighting of land, which allowed him to keep the reward money promised to the first person to see land.
Christopher Columbus? He landed in the present day Bahamas.
On October 12, 1492, a sailor on the Pinta, (one of the three ships in Columbus' voyage) sighted land. The crew reach San Salvador the next day.
Leif Ericson found Canada Columbus found Mexico The woodland Indians found America. Stupidly Leif Ericson didn't claim the land but Columbus did.
1492
Their is many theories and evidence proving Columbus wasn't the first person to land in the new world from the old world and so we reject Columbus day as a federal holiday.
