Good read of account of the first English Thanksgiving. There are those who say the first Thanksgiving, to include sharing of food with local Indians, was in St. Augustine, 1565.

Note that Berkeley is considered the first Thanksgiving to be celebrated in English. I also knew about St. Augustine, and it should be recognized also. Plimouth Colony has been stealing the Thanksgiving thunder for too long.
