Stands to reason that the Norse would find North America. All they had to do was follow the coastline. They decided not to stay in N.,A. as everything that they found here was plentiful in Norway. They didn't stay and I don't know that there are records that they met anyone while they were here. Do you know?
I took in 3 great talks on Columbus. Now he crossed the Atlantic; underestimated the distances, had no idea where he was and discovered a New World. Granted he was an explorer not a governor but he was not genocidal as so many claim. The speakers talked about his diaries as a great source of information.
