Following up on my last review, I enjoyed the Television article so much that I couldn't resist reviewing another article from your non-fiction folder.

This article covers the origin of the holiday Thanksgiving. I suspect that it was written to coincide with the holiday. I am writing this review in the middle of April but that does not detract from my enjoyment of this article. If anything it made me long for the classic holiday meal even more as it is several months off.

This article shows that Thanksgiving has a very rich history going back to early humans eventually leading up to the origins of the holiday with the early colonist that I am more familiar with. I really learned a lot from this article. For example I had no idea how Sarah Josepha Buell Hale helped make Thanksgiving a national holiday. It also helped me revise my knowledge. I had no idea that term Pilgrim being used to refer to the early colonists came much later. Additional while I have heard of pardoning a turkey and its the history linking all the way back to President Truman. You should share some of the sources of the information (possibly in a dropdown note) because it is really interesting and I would love to read more about it.

This article also succeeded in making me really hungry describing the classic meal as well as the meal that was most likely available for the Puritans and Wampanoag people during that time period. I like that this article covers the religious roots touching upon the early humans thanking the Gods and following up on the Puritan connection.

I really like reading this and learned a lot from this article. Thank you so much for sharing this trivia and writing this.
