Shownotes Transcript

This week we're talking about the history of Thanksgiving. We're digging in on the differences between Pilgrims (or Saints) and Puritans, the voyage of the Mayflower and the sinking of the Speedwell, John Carver, William Bradford, Squanto, and some asides about Jamestown. Finally, we put the 1621 feast between the Pilgrims and Wampanoag into historical context and talk about how that one dinner became a national holiday.
