Colonial Thanksgiving Traditions

Only one historical account exists of Plymouth colony, Massachusetts, in 1621. In one paragraph of a letter, Edward Winslow wrote that a good harvest led the colony to rejoice together. Part of their celebrations included firing guns. The sound of firearms attracted their Wampanoag neighbors, who probably thought a battle had broken out. Finding a celebration instead, 90 Wampanoag people attended the celebrations. After a quick hunt, they brought deer for the meal. Plymouth colonists and the Wampanoag visitors entertained and feasted for three days. What have we learned about the way they really celebrated? Instructor: Joan Adams.
