Historians say that It has not always '•?j been the universally popular occasion which It now Is considered to be. The first Thanksgiving ceremoniously observed in North America was that conducted by Rev. Mr? Wolfall, chaplain of the Frobisher ex- ,j>editlon to Newfohndland,, May 27, 1578, and the earliest Thanksgiving observance reported within the present boundaries of the United States ,was that held by the Popham colonists at iElagadahdc, Maine, in August, 1Q07. But the first specification of a whole iy of thanksgiving was that proclaimed by William Bradford, first governor of Massachusetts Colony of 1PI1- grims, "in gratitude for the plenteous harvest" of 1621. The date was December 13, old style. The festival became an annual and tegular one In Massachusetts In 1684, 'and the example so established was followed by all the other New England Colonies. It was the most Important feast of the year, taking rank above Christmas, of which the Puritans disapproved. During the Revolutionary war there irere at least eight separate days of general thanksgiving. George Washington ordered days for prayer and thanks on December 18, 1777, and May 7, 1778.

Contrary to common belief, it was congress rather than the first President that was responsible. The credit In the circumstances is due particularly to Ellas Boudinot, a member of the house of representatives from New Jersey, who on September 25, 1789, Introduced a resolution calling upon "all the citltens of the United States" to Join "with one voice In returning to Almighty God their sincere thanks for the many blessings he had poured upon them." The original document is still in the flies of the congress, where It recently was discovered. The record shows that the motion prompted strenuous debate. Opposition to the proposal was passionately intense. Aedanus Burke of South Caror Una attacked "this mimicking of European customs." Thomas" T. Tucker of Virginia sardonically submitted that "It might be well to wait for some experience of the efficiency of the Constitution before returning thanks for It- Thomas Jefferson opposed the plan fofr fear It might Imply a connection be* tween state and church. The fact was that Thanksgiving day never had beep accepted In the South. It had been considered an exclusively evangelical {on, on the other hand, determined to make a really memorable etent of the festival. With the Imaginative flair which distinguished him, he vlsloned a "monster celebration," with Washingr ton .as its presiding ; genius. There should be a great parade, a colorful and dranSiatic pageant,,- an American equivalent, more or less, of a Roman trluinph. Troops, vyere to march, bands to play, flags to fly, and the multitude could be counted upon to cheer. The whole pffair, Ifamllton decided, should culminate in a banquet at Fraunces tavern. To the festal board ho Invited his chosen friends and preparations for their entertainment In the grand manner proceeded. , But Mrs. Washington hadjpl&ns. of her own. She desired it formal levee at the Executive Mansion In Franklin square, and Invitations were dispatched to "everybody Who was anybody." Hamilton, naturally, was one of those whose presence was requested. The great day dawned. The parade was held. The reception followed. Hamilton was late in arriving at the tavern, a tardy host at his own dinner. To his amazement, the giver of the feast found his guests had not waited for him to appear. They.had been eating and drinking for all they were worth In his absence. From the doorway Hamilton surveyed the scene, his face scarlet with rage. Nevertheless, he held his tongue for fear of the "public scandal'J of an outburst. Silence fell as he moved across the room to a place at the table. But the Inevitable outburst followed." The next morning Washington sent for Hamilton and demanded an explanation. The younger man apologized as best as he could, but the older "called the whole proceedings a disgrace." For five long years there were no Thanksgiving day proclamations, no Thanksgiving day celebrations. In a later period Andrew Jackson and Zachary Taylor refused to order observance of the festival. Abraham Lincoln was responsible for the present custom of keeping the fourth or last Thursday In November as a national day of thanks to God. But it was not until comparatively rec^ht years that the people of the entire country began to celebrate the an nual occasion with enthusiasm.
