Columbus Day is a U.S. holiday that
commemorates the landing of
Christopher Columbus in the Book Fair 10/23-10/27
Americas on October 12, 1492. It
was unofficially celebrated in a
number of cities and states as early Cancer Awareness
as the 18th century, but did not become a federal holiday until Month October
1937. For many, the holiday is a way of both honoring Columbus
achievements and celebrating Italian-American heritage. But
throughout its history, Columbus Day and the man who inspired it Movies on Fridays
have generated controversy, and many alternatives to the holiday
have proposed since the 1970s.

Christopher Columbus was an Italian-born explorer who set sail in
August 1492, bound for Asia with backing from the Spanish
monarchs King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella.Columbus intended
to chart a western sea route to China, India and the fabled gold

becoming the first European to explore the Americas since the
Vikings established colonies in Greenland and Newfoundland during
the 10th century.
