"The meal celebrated by the Pilgrims and Native Americans in 1621 is called the first Thanksgiving just about everywhere. But, this was not the first Thanksgiving at all! European settlers had celebrated many such meals since coming to America. In this book, commonly held myths about colonial history are debunked for curious readers. Readers are invited to think critically about what they know as fact boxes add even more fascinating information to the social studies content of the main text"--.
