Thanksgiving
In November 1621, after the Pilgrims' first corn harvest proved successful, Governor William Bradford organized a celebratory feast and invited a group of the fledgling colony's Native American allies, including the Wampanoag chief Massasoit. Now remembered as American's 'first Thanksgiving'...although the Pilgrims themselves may not have used the term at the time...the festival lasted for three days.
