There are several "theories about when CC might have discovered The Americas. He logs have been long lost. 1492 may have actually been his second journey to the americas according to some historians. He never landed on the mainland of America, landing instead in the Bahama's or the Dominican Republic depending on which historian you want to believe.
All of which were already inhabited.

LOL! What was Snookie's answer?

I think the qualifier 'commonly accepted' would make the answer 1492.

Or were you looking for, "When Christopher sailed around, ringing those bells..." Sorry. Couldn't resist. For comedic effect only. Not lookin' to start a fight.

It's called a Bibliography.

I just mean that if we can't post a link to back up our statements, we could say whatever we wanted. Do we just say, "go read this book"?

It was the lack of answers that prompted my post. I'm not the reading police, by any means.

That's the point of a Bibliography.
