Columbus Day. Columbus sailed across the ocean frum his home and he discovered sum islands, but the natives there told him to go home, so he discovered the mainland but the Vikings had 'scovered it alreddy 400 years before. So he moved to Ohio and named a big city there after himself. Columbus Ohio. MOL
My daDDy he told me this.
He was Italian, not Spanish. His home was Genova (Genoa). His name was not Christopher Columbus. It was Cristoforo Columbo. The Spanish applied the Latin name. So, an Italian navigator 'discovered' the new world and another Italian had it inadvertently named after him: Amerigo Vespucci.
