The Thanksgiving Story

The original story of Thanksgiving circa1954. Author's note : In writing the text and making the pictures for this book, Helen Sewell and I have kept them both very simple- so they tell the story of one family and of the changing seasons. The Pilgrims and settlers were chiefly a group of country people, farmers, weavers and other workmen .They wore the clothes of the time - perhaps less elaborate - and they wore colors. The wide, tall hats were expensive, so the men and boys had knitted and cloth caps for ordinary occasions.
