The Thanksgiving Story (1954)

the Thanksgiving Story by Alice Dalgliesh is the version of Thanksgiving I learned as a child. The Mayflower arrives in the new world after a treacherous voyage. Life is hard. Relations with the Indians are good as they celebrate a first Thanksgiving. I will save this book with my other ancestral belongings. It tells a story we want to believe.
