PILGRIMS THANKSGIVING.

Turkey Figured In the Menu When
They "Had Things In Good Plenty"
Governor Bradford describes the first
Thanksgiving of the pilgrims in Amer
lea:
"They the pilgrim colonists) now
began to gather the small harvest they
had and to fit their dwellings against
winter, all being well recovered in
health, and had all things in good plen-
ty. Some were employed in affairs
abroad; others exercised in fishing
about bass. cod and other fish. of which
they took good store, of which every
family had their portion. All summer
there was no waste. Now began to
come in store of fowl as winter APP
preached. of which this place did
abound when they came first, and be-
side waterfowl there was great store
of wild turkeys, of which they took
many, beside venison, etc. Beside,
they had about a peck of meal to a per-
son, or now. since harvest, Indian corn
to that proportion"
On Dec. IL, 1921. Edward Winslow
wrote the following description of the
Thanksgiving to a friend in England:
"Our harvest being gotten in. u
governor sent four men on fowling, so
that we might after a special manner
rejoice together after we had gathered
the fruit of our labors. They killed as
much fowl as, with a little help beside,
served the company almost a week.
Amongst other recreations we exer-
cised our arms, many of the Indians
coming among us. and among the rest
Massasoit. their greatest king, with
some ninety men, whom we entertained
and feasted three days. They killed
five deer, which they bestowed on our
governor and the captain (Mlles Stan
dish, a Roman Catholic) and others.
Although it be not always so plentiful
as it was at this time with us, yet by
the goodness of God we are so far
from want that we often wish you
(were) p%artakers of our plenty"
From other sources it is learned that
besides the exercises with arms that
Winslow mentioned there were athletic

stool ball. an old form of croquet, and
pitch the bar, which Bradford named in
his Journal. There appears no evidence
of special religious services having
been held. The pilgrims had daily
prayers before breakfast. In this serw-
fee and in the temper Of rejoicing that
ran through their Thanksgiving they
voiced their gratitude.
