The 90-foot-long Mayflower, with 102 passengers and a crew of perhaps 27, sailed from England in September 1620.
After 66 days, they sighted land on Nov. 11. They sailed on for another month, looking for a place to settle. On Dec . 20, a group in a small boat landed on a site they called New Plimounth in what is today Massachusetts.
in the spring , a member of the monhegan tribe, Samoset,became a friend .
A Wampanoag Indian , Squanto, showed the pilgrims how to use fish as fertilizer When planting corn. in 1921, the Pilgtims celebrated their first harvest with three days of feasting.
Wampanoag chief Massasoit and 90 of his men joined Gov. William Bradford and 52 Pilgrims for the feast. The idea of Thanksgiving traces back to this event.
President Abraham Lincoln named the last thursday of November as a national holiday for giving thanks.
In 1941, President Franklin Rooselvelt signed a bill making it the fourth Thursday in November.
