Summary:
For a long time, most people believed that Christopher Columbus was the
first
explorer to 'discover' America--the
first
to make a successful round-trip voyage across the Atlantic. But in recent years, as new evidence has come to light, our understanding of history has changed. We know now that Columbus was among the last explorers to reach the
Americas
, not the
first
.
