What about Amerigo Vespucci? (He’s the guy we are supposed to be GLAD our countinent was named after his FIRST name instead of his LAST name.)
Isn’t Brown located in a heavily populated Portuguese area? You would think the citizens would be a little upset about it.

Amerigo Vespucci was a map maker who heard stories of Leif Ericson’s adventure, 500 years after the fact.
