Overview

Almost everything you have been told about the first Thanksgiving is wrong, and the true version is better. There were no buckled hats. There was probably no turkey. Nobody called it Thanksgiving and nobody thought it was the beginning of anything. Ninety Wampanoag men came over a rise to a harvest that had not invited them, and stayed three days. This book tells what actually happened in 1621, what happened to the Wampanoag afterward - because they are still here, and this book says so in the present tense - and how a magazine editor named Sarah Josepha Hale wrote letters to five presidents until one of them finally said yes. For everybody who sets a table and puts one more chair at it.
