The First Thanksgiving
Marion Wills
During the reign of King Ja
mes 1 there was much trouble
in England about the Established
Church of England. There were
many different religions. There
were the Puritans who wanted
to purify the Established Church
There were also the Separat
ists. They didn’t believe or want
t<* belong to the Church of Engl
and. There were also Presbyter
inns, Baptists and Quakers. The
Presbyterians were followers of
John Calvin, the Baptists were
followers of John Bunyan. He
was a religious man and wrote
Pilgrim's Progress. George Fox
whs the leader of the Quakers.
The persecution of the Pilgrims
led them to go to Holland.
They went to Holland and
stayed there for thirteen years
Finally they saw that their sons
and daughters were growing up
to be Hollanders and intermarry
mg with the Dutch. Then they
decided to go to North America.
They started two times, and
had t.j return both times. Then
they started Sept. (>, 10:10on the
Mayflower. The voyage over was
very rough. The high winds and
storims tossed the little boat ab
out like it was a oork.
When they started there we
re one hundred one people in al
When they arrived in N. A. the
re were one hundred two. On
I
the way over there was a little
trirl born, she was named Oceana.
| Other important people were M,
! les Standish, Rose Standish. Eld
er Brewster, John Alden, and
Priscilla Mullen.
They sailed along the coast <
of N A. trying to find a good
place to settle. Finally Dec. 12,
1020 they chose a place. Before
they landed they wrote the May
i flower Compact with all their ru
, les and laws. It is now the Con
| stitution of United States. They
I named their little settlement Ply
mouth. They all built cabins to
live in. Everybody helped each
other.
The first winter was very
hard on the little settlement. Ma
I ny starved, among them the good
| Rose Standish. Once in a while
| shot some game. It was
very cold. They didn’t have much
food, and clothing was scarce.
Miles Standish was very brave 1
'and many times he nursed the
sick. Many of the pilgrims died
that terrible winter.
The next summer they did
n’t have very good crops, but
they saved the sheds. In the sum
i nnr of 1G2B the Indians showed
1 the Pilgrims how to fertilize the
soil. That summer they had exc
ellent crops. Then in November,
the last Thursday, they had a gr •
eat feast They invited the Ind
ians. This made the Indians more
friendly They had turkeys, deer,
pies, plum puddings, jellies, co
rn, and other things that are
good to eat. They called this day
Thanksgiving.
