Some more corroboration...
This mention of a day of giving thanks was placed in the year 1623, although written later.

More comments on the success of "particular" (private) planting, apparently on or near page 104 of the original. This page, placed in the 1623 portion of the journal, came before the report of the sailing of the Anne, which left on September 10th, 1623.

Upon first landing many of the earliest settlement bodies tended to govern themselves the same way they'd done in the old country.
The nobles "nobled", the lackeys "lackeyed", the carpenters "cut and shaped wood" even when no wood was needed, and the guys dragged off the streets for service on ships disappeared with Indian maidens, stole food, and did what they wanted.
Most of the original bodies we know about solved the problem the same way ~ they organized themselves, found a suitable leader, and figured out how to do both "group work" (hunt, build palisades) and "feed self" (prepare game, gather and plant).
The groups that failed to organize and get work done simply disappeared without a record.

Thanks for the further input on the origins of how this holiday was established during the FDR years.

Very early, the Huguenots built a fort inland from Charleston, SC that was attacked by the Catholic Spanish from St Augustine, FL...
My Huguenots came to NYC in 1680 and helped found New Rochelle, NY...

We may be having another chance to test that theory.

Thank you for the ping to such an educational thread.
“Should be required reading in all schools, every grade, every year.”
I second that motion.
