dose benefited him so much that
l continued giving it to him until
he was cured"

Lief Ericsson is generally con-
sidered the first European to Wis
Il American. He left the Scan
dinavian colony of Iceland about
1000 A. d. and led an expedi-
ton to a land further south,
which he named Vinland. 1t is
believed to be somewhere between
Nova Scotia and Long Island.
But the Seandinavians made no
permanent settlements on the
American mainland.
1t remained for Columbus in
1892 to make the discoveries that
led to European colonization.
He held the earth was round
and thought he could reach rich
India by sailing west.
Queen Isabella of Spain be-
lieved in him, and pawned her
jewels to fit out his three boats
the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria.
They sailed west for two
months. Mutinous sailors were
about to force Columbus return
when, on October IL, 1892, he
reached one of the Bahama is
lands--San Salvador.
Columbus called the islands the
West Indies, and the natives in
dams. He thought he had landed
off India.
