Description

"Last year I wrote about Thanksgiving started among the Pilgrims. Our Canadian Thanksgiving developed from the American holiday so it is not strictly a U.S. story. The Wampanoag Indian called Squanto, who could speak English, was a large part of the story. He almost singlehandedly saved the Pilgrims from starvation. Without him, the Pilgrims would have had very little to be thankful for."
