Who really discovered America?

If you ask children in Ireland that question, you may get this surprising answer: "St. Brendan, of course." He left Ireland 1500 years ago in a leather boat to find paradise. Tales of the wonders he and his crew saw and the Monster Territory they encountered during their trip have become part of Irish legend. And legend also says that the island of unsurpassed beauty that St. Brendan called paradise was actually America.
