TRACED TO ENGLISH CUSTOM
Another Account of the Origin Of
Thanksgiving Day as II Is Now
Celebrated.

Thanksgiving day, as we know It..
had its origin in the custom of kings
of England in the seventeenth ana
eighteenth centuries to proclaim DAY
of national Thanksgiving for some
great victory or some other blessing
of heaven.
The first American Thanksgiving
day was July 20, 1775. The second was
Friday, May IL 1776, The third was
December II. also in 1776. which thus
had two Thanksgivings. Washington
issued his first Thanksgiving procla
nation to his army, from Valley Forge
in 1777 In those days the date was
prescribed by committee Of the COP
tinental congress. In 1873 the chap
lains of congress drew up the procla
nation.
