Leif Erikson

Leif Erikson was a Viking.  He wanted to go to a place that a guy told him about while Leif was at his house.  He went and tried to find the place.  He landed on an island that was really rocky so he went on.  He found a second island that was very rugged, and he still went on.  Finally he found a third place.  It was amazing.  It had trees and food and sand.  He built houses and explored and stayed there for a year.  Then he sailed back to Greenland where he lived.  He wanted to go back but he never got to before his life ended.  He was the first European to go to the American Continent.
