The First Thanksgiving
The Thanksgiving most Americans believe to be the origin of the holiday took place in 1621, when after a bountiful harvest in a land that had been hard on many of the settlers, the pilgrims decided to give thanks with a feast. They celebrated the harvest with their Native American neighbors, the Wampanoag tribe.Scholastic: The First Thanksgiving Feast
The day was declared a federal holiday in 1863 by President Abraham Lincoln. On October 3, 1963, Lincoln delivered his Thanksgiving proclamation, stating, "It has seemed to me fit and proper that God should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged, as with one heart and one voice, by the whole American people. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November as a day of Thanksgiving and praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens."http://www.schillerinstitute.org/educ/hist/lincoln_thanksgiving.html -
