Synopsis

When the Pilgrims came to America, they suffered from hunger dur-ing their first winter. With the help of friendly Indians, they planted crops the following spring, and felt blessed when there was a good harvest in the fall. They had much to be thankful for, and celebrated with a feast and games.

Here is the story of Thanksgiving, its origins, its traditions, and how it is celebrated today.
