What the settlers learned from the Indians, is that you can turn one fish into at least two ears of corn.
Quoted from o-din:A tribute to the native Americans and how they helped early anglo settlers keep from starving.
The settlers were thankful and continued to show their gratitude for many years to come.

Ya ya Odin...I’ll bite
We carried out many atrocities against native Americans and stole their land...and in just a few hundred short years we have managed to pollute the land, sea & air to sickening levels.
Something to think about as you all thaw out your artificially inseminated frozen hybrid meat ball
Happy Thanksgiving!

Not sure if you are being serious, but that description is a fairy tale.
Quoted from jackd104:Not sure if you are being serious, but that description is a fairy tale.
We just discovered my wifes family came to North America just 4 years after the first Thanksgiving.
Letters family has from Early America share an interesting, and different history.
For example, We were all taught about Johny Appleseed, and American Apple Pie.
Family writes that they cant wait for the harvest, and the celebration of Fermented Apple Cider!
Statements about needing to drink heavily to put up being in house with his wife all winter was unbearable, without his alcohol.
Family gatherings we have had and reading many of these share humor, and hardship, but also the power
of Alcohol, and a very different view of Settling the west and American Indians.
I know I have a whole lot to be thankful for, and here I particularly think of the community associated with the coolest hobby ever, warts and all. I’m thankful to be one of the warts.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Can remember the days I’d get the Thanksgiving newspaper and plan my Friday shopping while watching the Macy’s parade. Still watch the parade but don’t get too hyped about the ads anymore. I think “Black Friday” is fading away.
Hope everyone is having a great Thanksgiving. Let the crazy season begin!
Grateful to be alive! Despite the “atrocities “ that my beloved country may have committed, it is still the best damn country in the world to live. I encourage Anyone who does not feel that way to find a country that they feel is the best to them and promptly go about seeking residency.
Quoted from Lethal_Inc:Happy Thanksgiving! Cheers!
Scared Stiff??????????

I'm finding out more and more, that's like just about everything else about history they taught me in grade school. lol. But like Santa Claus, we need to keep passing the tale down to the next generations.
Happy T-Day!

That has always been my favorite history misinformation. Johnny Appleseed spreading apples and apple seeds through out the land. He did it for apple jack, not for eating.
He also planted dog fennel, believing it had medicinal powers, and now considered an invasive weed.
To balance history or legends, read the diaries of those who lived through it. Some interesting reading.

He might be an ancestor of mine.
Nobody is going to tell me Benjamin Franklin wasn't a real ladies man though.

Is it? It might be, all things considered, but highly doubtful. My guess is that it’s the only place you or I have ever lived, so it’s probably hard to make an unbiased judgement. I know that we’re not even top 10 in health or happiness. Without those two things, can you really be #1?
We might be the most powerful country, but I have been to New Zealand, and they really know how to live.

A poor attempt at a Davinci code type novel when it came out...all the "thriller" action is Fiction.
The Historical info on Who he was, and what happened, isnt really known.
A few TV shows on Smithsonian, and History that touch on them.
He wasnt Italian. He wrote Prophecy books Like Nostradamus, He may have been having an Affair with Queen Isabella, and a lot is related to Spain and Portugal dividing the world....
