Til ANKSGIVING FACTS , AND I AN( 11 S Pokanoket — does this name mean anything to you? Though Thanksgiving this year will be the 50th one, few people really know the del ghtful story of how the holiday has evolved. Did you know, for instance, that the first Thanksgiving lasted three days? Or that the fit st Thanksgiving proclamation was s.gned by Abraham L'ncoln ? Or the role that Sarah Josepha Hale played in making Thanks giving what it is today? The first Thanksgiving was he.d in December of 1621. when Governor W iliam Bradford of the Plymouth Colony appointed a day of celebration and sent four men out to shoot turkeys and other fowl. The Hlgrims had come ashore from the Mayflower on December 21, 1620 The winter that followed was heartbreaking ; ha if of the Pilgrims died of disease, hungei and exposure. But the follow ng March, two Ind..ins be iended the lemaining group and gave them Indian cam seed - teaing them to plant "when the oak leaves are is big as mouse-ears' and to catch fish to fertilize the so 1 Thus the seeds were sown for the first Thanksgiving harvest. It was a warm and bright summer, and the crops thrived When autumn arrived, three log warehouses were filed with provision.* the harvest of 20 acres of coin, and six acres of wheat, rye. barley and peas. Governor Bradford thought it fitting to celebrate and g.ve thanks for their good fortune and a formal inv.tation was issued to Massasoit, leader of the Pokanoket Ind..ms to join them in a feast of Thanksgiving. Massasoit arrived with 90 of h s followeis and stayed for three days of feasting Thanksgiving days following harvests later came to be cele brated throughout the New England Colonie.* bat on different days. George Wash.ng ton named N ivomber 26. 17x9 as a nat onal thanksgiving day in honor of the new constitution; but the custom continued to vary widely among the states kept alive only by the proclamations of loca, governors It was a woman. Sarah Josepha Hale, however, wiio fast suggest, cd that Thanksg ving should bo a national patriotic holiday. She was the editor oi the popular woman's magazine called "Godeys Lady's Book " and for almost 20 years she campaigned through editorials and letters to the President state governors and other influential persons. Finally. Sarah Hale was able to win the support of President Abraham Lincoln. In the third year of the Civil War, he believed that the Union had been saved; he thereto.e procla med a national day of thanksgiving to be celebrated on Thursday, November 26 naming the last Thursday in November as the day to be observed each year. Today many guests - thunk ful for being invited to Thanksgiving dinner arrive with gifts for the hostes* who prepared the festive meal Probably without even thinking of how fitting it is to recall a bloom n a wasteland, a number of guests give then hostess a popular perfume named appropriately enough Desert Flower While turkey is traditional n the United States for Thanksgiving m Japan a similar hoh day of thanks s celebrated ea. h year on November 23rd with visits to shiines. with candy and pots of hot ceremonial tea.
