The Plymouth Colony and First Thanksgiving (Thanksgiving Lectures, Pt. 6)
Final part of the Thanksgiving lecture series: we take a look at the decision to settle off Plymouth Harbor, the extraordinarily harsh and deadly winter of 1620 and 1621, the tragic story of the Patuxet tribe, the Wampanoag Confederation and Pokanoket tribe, the peace treaty with the Indians in April 1621, the abundant harvest, and three-day feast of thanksgiving in autumn 1621. In this lecture we'll encounter such figures as Samoset, Massosoit Ousamequin, Tiquantum or Squanto, Hobbamock, and Edward Winslow, while also returning to such figures as William Brewster, Captain Myles Standish, Governor John Carver, and Governor William Bradford. This lecture concludes our discussion of the Pilgrims and the meaning of the Thanksgiving holiday.
