This is nonsense. The history of the Pilgrims and their Indian friends is meticulously well-documented. The Puritans had nothing to do with the Pilgrims or with Thanksgiving.

“The history of the Pilgrims and their Indian friends is meticulously well-documented.”

True but the story that goes around now totally leaves out the fact that the Pilgrims weren’t here first. That goes to the settlers of Jamestown in 1607.

Well, finally someone who knows the difference between Pilgrims and Puritans. The Pilgrims were called that because they set sail on a pilgrimage. They called themselves Separatists, though, when they were in England and Holland. You are right that it is well documented. Gov. Bradford wrote a history of the “Plimoth Plantation”, remember?
(By the way, he was my eighth great grandfather)
