Description

The first Thanksgiving wasn’t celebrated with turkey (there weren’t any in Massachusetts) and didn’t take place in 1621. Indeed the settlers, who most certainly didn’t bring to mind themselves as Pilgrims and were most under no circumstances revolutionaries against their king, were lucky to not be wiped out all through their first winter. They most certainly would have been had the local Indian population not been affected even worse by disease and starvation.

On this fascinating history of The us’s favorite creation myth, peppered with delightful and unexpected insights, Godfrey Hodgson throws new light at the radicalism of the so-referred to as Pilgrims, the financing of their go back and forth, the state of the Indian tribes that they encountered when they landed and the reasons why Plymouth most certainly didn’t have a rock.
