A captivating revisionist history of the classic narrative of settlement reveals that much that we think we know about the Pilgrims is wrong— but that the spirit of their first Thanksgiving survives Guardian In this enjoyable book Hodgson shows how Thanksgiving has evolved from a noisy public festival into a more private, domestic affair.
