may 20, 1000 - Leif Erickson

Description:

Leif Erickson (c. 970- c. 1020) was the son of Erik the Red, a Norwegian explorer who is said to have discovered Greenland. Erickson went to Norway and was commissioned by the king to spread Christianity to Greenland. In about 1000, Erickson and his Viking crew landed in what is now Canada, likely by accident. Leif Erikson may have been the first European to land in North America.
