Exploring the New World.
Because the date and place of Erikson's "discovery" of North America were uncertain,
members of the Leif Erikson Association arbitrarily chose October 9 to commemorate this
event�perhaps because the first organized group of Norwegian emigrants landed in
America on October 9, 1825.
