Columbus never SAW Mainland USA, You are thinking of Henry Hudson- the purchase price of Manhattan Island was 24 Pounds or 24 Dollars- I would think Pounds as he was another(Sailor of Fortune) under the Union Jack. BY the way the 24Lber was a popuar and powerful Naval Gun known in his day- maybe he turned around to his Gunhner"s mate- Gicve em a 24Lber! Tghat"ll soften them up! Hudson landed in these (I'm in Jersey City) parts in l609. That"s Hudson, not Columbus! Back to the History tomes, matey!
