About this ebook
Americans love Thanksgiving, and they celebrate it with gusto.

Most Americans don’t know that thanksgivings were celebrated long before the Pilgrims had their weeklong party in 1621. These thanksgivings, called harvest festivals, have occurred all over the world since ancient times. They had different names but all were a way of giving thanks for the blessings of the previous year. Find out how the world celebrated thanksgiving then—and continues to celebrate it in modern times.
