Thanksgiving History and Traditions
The Story of the Pilgrims Every schoolchild knows the basics of how the Pilgrims arrived in New England seeking religious freedom and celebrated the first Thanksgiving with the Indians. But there's much more to the story than that. Learn about the Scrooby Separatists, William Brewster, William Bradford, Miles Standish, Oceanus Hopkins, the Speedwell and the Mayflower, the Mayflower Compact, the first terrible winter -- and the second, and the third, Squanto, Samoset, Massasoit, and the Pilgrim's first REAL day of Thanksgiving.
