Topic - Food, Faith, and Football: The True Story of Thanksgiving
In 1620, a small band of religious dissenters left England to settle in the New World. A year after their fateful landing at Plymouth Rock in Massachusetts, these grateful “Pilgrims” sat down to a three-day feast with their Native American neighbors.
