There was a viking named Eric the Red that i believe first found the North American contiinent. But Columbus was the first to spread word about it and led to settlers coming to the new land.

The best part about being a Viking would have been the awesome name. Thanks for the response!

It's more complicated. Columbus knew of the Vikings, they were quiet, but not silent. The Vikings didn't believe they were in Asia. They didn't care. All they cared about was trade in lumber and ivory. Christopher figured that they must have been going way north of China. The story we have today was actually created by paleo-leftists during the 1800. Remember, they lionized him before they hated him.
