A three-part series for Thanksgiving

The First Thanksgiving

Food and football is fine. This is the story behind the feast: who these people were, what they left behind, and why they came.

Taught by Chuck Frank

The Mayflower at anchor at dusk, by William Formby Halsall, 1882

Thanksgiving is predicated by sacrifice. We certainly have a great deal to be thankful for.
