Columbus Sailed the Ocean Blue. At least according to an e-mail that I received on Monday, which was Columbus Day. (What a coincidence…) I opted to take a look back into history and discovered that the events of 1842 included:
March 17: Indians land in Ohio, a 12 mile area in Upper Sandusky
August 9: U.S.-Canada border defined by Webster-Ashburton Treaty
December 19: U.S. recognizes independence of Hawaii
If Columbus actually landed on U.S. soil that year, he was waaaaaay behind schedule.
