So there is Leif Erickson who may have landed on Newfoundland in 990 (something) off the coast of Maine 'Closer' to Canada!.. (and by accident I might add) Roughly 500 years later Christopher Columbus is looking for a western route to Asia, lands on an island in the Bahamas (Again by accident) 'Also' believed to have discovered America!.. Then in 1496 I believe, 'John Cabot' from orders of his King 'Was' ordered to voyage west, and he 'Also' Discovered, America!.. However John Cabot sailed roughly the same route I guess as Erickson, he landed on the same, 'Newfoundland' !.. 'However'!... In 1546 (I believe) Hernando De Soto 'Was' the 1rst European to actually land and come aboard on a beach somewhere in Florida, and prolly continue up through, Georgia/Tennessee and maybe up the Mississippi to !..
