A True Retelling of the First Thanksgiving: An Unadorned History of the Plymouth Colonizers' Journey from Europe on the Mayflower to the Already Inhabited New World Through Their First Harvest Festival Made Possible Only with the Help of the Indigenous People Step back into the pivotal moment in American history with a detailed and thoroughly researched account of the harvest festival that became known as the First Thanksgiving. A True Retelling of the First Thanksgiving unveils the true story behind the legendary feast, tracing the arduous journey of the Plymouth colonizers on the Mayflower across the Atlantic Ocean from England to Massachusetts, their encounter with an already inhabited land, and the essential role of the indigenous Wampanoag people in their survival. This book is not a romanticized version of Thanksgiving often portrayed, instead, offering an unembellished, fact-based look at the struggles, hardships, and ultimate collaboration that led to the 1621 harvest festival. A True Retelling of the First Thanksgiving features: * A rich, in-depth narrative about the journey, from the struggles aboard the ship to the first year in the New World. * Accounts of both European passengers and Indigenous leaders like Samoset and Squanto, whose guidance was crucial to the survival of Plymouth Colony. * Insight into the Indigenous peoples of the region including the Wampanoag, Nauset, and Massachusett, who had lived on the land for millennia before European colonization. * A clear-eyed exploration of the first harvest celebration, its origins, and how the feast became known as The First Thanksgiving. Perfect for history enthusiasts, educators, and readers seeking a more accurate understanding of this iconic event, A True Retelling of the First Thanksgiving sheds light on the complex dynamics between the Plymouth colonizers and the Indigenous peoples, highlighting the cooperation and cultural exchanges that have been overshadowed by myth. Also included is the essay "A Short History of Thanksgiving: From Pilgrim Myth to Modern Celebration." Discover the untold story behind one of the most beloved American holidays in this fascinating exploration of the true origins of Thanksgiving. Far from the simple tale of Pilgrims and Native Americans sharing a peaceful meal in 1621, the history of Thanksgiving is filled with myths, forgotten events, and cultural shifts. From its evolution into a national holiday championed by Sarah Hale in the nineteenth century to its modern-day controversies surrounding Native American history, this rich narrative reveals how Thanksgiving transformed from a solemn religious event to a secular celebration centered around family, food, and recreation.
