Pilgrims in American Culture - Thanksgiving
What was the first Thanksgiving really like? The answer is more complicated than you would think.
Plimoth Plantation, the living history museum of 17th century Plymouth, has assembled a collection of primary source documents and articles about the event. These documents include first-hand accounts from Governor William Bradford and Master Edward Winslow, leaders of the Plymouth colony. If you're looking for the real facts behind the tradition, this is an invaluable resource.
