According to Wikipedia, "Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival... The traditional "first Thanksgiving" is the celebration that occurred at the site of Plymouth Plantation, in 1621." The festival was probably held in early October 1621 and was celebrated by the 53 surviving Pilgrims, along with Massasoit, the Wampanoag Native American supreme leader of the region and 90 of his men.
