Bookroo's summary
Journey back to 1621 and discover the real story of the first Thanksgiving. This photo-essay challenges the myths of Pilgrims and Native Americans, revealing a more accurate depiction of the historic three-day harvest celebration. How did this event evolve into the holiday we know today? Explore the changes and truths behind the feast that shaped a nation.
From the publisher
Countering the prevailing, traditional story of the first Thanksgiving, with its black-hatted, silver-buckled Pilgrims; blanket-clad, be-feathered Indians; cranberry sauce; pumpkin pie; and turkey, this lushly illustrated photo-essay presents a more measured, balanced, and historically accurate version of the three-day harvest celebration in 1621.
