The first European who arrived in North America was Leif Ericson-a Viking.
Leif Ercson died long ago but his expedition did end even before he died. No one knows exactly what day or year that his expedition ended but it is said that Ericson's brother, Thorvald, gathered Leif supplies for another expedition. But the question is, did he go on another expedition after his most famous??
Leif Ericson is considered one of the first Europeans to land in North America, around 1000 AD, over 500 years before Christopher Columbus. He established a Viking settlement in Vinland, which is believed to be modern-day Newfoundland in Canada. This makes him an important figure in early European exploration of the Americas.
The correct spelling is "Columbus Day"
