He was holding a document, saying that they were going for religious freedom. I had not seen the painting, and it made me almost weep for joy.

There are 2 sources for Thanksgiving - one of those is E.W. (presumed to be Edward Winslow) who was one of the 53 Pilgrim survivors to attend that 1st Thanksgiving. In E.W.'s letter he writes "And besids water foule, ther was great store of wild Turkies, of which they tooke many". This leads most experts to conclude it was highly likely turkey was consumed at the first Thanksgiving. God Bless you and have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family. Sincerely, Paul Dear Cousin,
