Leif Eriksson Day
A good week for explorers, with Columbus Day and
Leif Eriksson Day both on October 9. In 1977
President Jimmy Carter proclaimed Leif (the Lucky)
Eriksson Day, in commemoration of the Norse explor
er. The exact date and site of Eriksson’s discovery of
America, around the year 1000, are uncertain. Some
historians believe that Eriksson landed in North
America, somewhere between Nova Scotia and
Virginia, up to 488 years earlier than Columbus.
O King Olaf I had commissioned Eriksson to
convert the Vikings of Greenland to Christianity.
“if I have ever made any valuable
discoveries, it has been owing
jHTltvt more to patient attention, than
' to any other talent. ” Wc Newton
