This article is meant as an overview regarding many important explorers and efforts ionvolved in the entire effort to map the continent of north America.

This article states that the continent of America is "POSSIBLY" named after the explorer of South America (Amerigo Vespucci, Spanish "Américo"). However, the article about Amerigo Vespucci asserts that: "Amerigo Vespucci (March 9, 1454 – February 22, 1512) was a Florentine merchant, explorer, and navigator from the Republic of Florence, from whose name the term America is derived." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2800:810:43F:80A0:ADAE:BDFC:AEBD:656B (talk) 16:11, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Exploration of North America. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/20090124191851/http://www.nps.gov:80/archive/jeff/lewisclark2/circa1804/WestwardExpansion/WestwardExpansion.htm to http://www.nps.gov/archive/jeff/LewisClark2/Circa1804/WestwardExpansion/WestwardExpansion.htm

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.
