In fourteen hundred ninety-two Columbus sailed the ocean blue... I was surprised to find that Columbus Day is still an official Federal holiday. Christopher Columbus was a much bigger figure in American history when I was in elementary school back in the 1970s, as our history textbooks told his same heroic story for generations.

Fails to... 9/26/2014 7:00:00 AM
