England, Edward Winslow has given us a brief
account Of the festivities This letter bears the
date of Dec. IL, 1921, and in 1t Winslow wrote:

athletic contests besides the exercises of arms
which Winslow mentioned. No doubt they play

HE idea is prevalent in the United
States that our Thanksgiving fes-
tival is peculiarly an American
custom of New England origin.
This is true in part only. The
general observance through many
years of set day on which to
give thanks to Almighty God for
his blessings has made the GUS
tom distinctively American; but
it's origin long antedates the set
