o f thanksgiving is a day o f prayer
and fasting. The Pilgrim s felt
blessed in having a bountiful harvest
ofbarley (for beer) and Indian com.
In 1627, fifty Pilgrims and ninety
Wampanoag Indians gathered for
three mid-day dinners mixed with
leisure and recreation.
Wild turkey was abundant in New
England butt was not the main fare.
The Wampanoag Indians offered
five deer, ducks, geese and swans
for the occasion.
