1942 eh? You should proofread before hitting Send.

And now, I hope we go back to NVDA discussion. (grin)

Lol! Columbus had nothing, but relaly nothing, to do with the Pilgrim Fathers! He happened to hit ground on Espanola, now Haiti, on October 12th, 1942... But the MayFlower, the ship that took the Founding Fathers to america, was in 1620.


In addition, Columbus was Italian (someone says Spanish...), while the Pilgrim Fathers were English.


The first Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1621... The rest is too crude
to tell here, but if you look up 1637, you'll have a very interesting story.


Sorry. End of reply.


I'm disappearing again, for the next 15 years at least... LOL!


Ciao,

Ollie

Do you mean to say that Columbus was not one of the pilgrims and it

After the Pilgrims landed, they had a brutally hard winter and some
of them died. The first Thanksgiving was celebrated after the first
summer, in the fall because of the good harvest that year.

Hi, India,

The Pilgrams cme from England to fight for freedom from their
tyrannical government. They settled in a place called Janestown in
1620. They came to our shores on a ship called the Mayflower. After
settlihng on our shores, they gave thanks to God for all the
blessings he had given them. That’s why we celebrate Thanksgiving. I
know Canada celebrates Thanksgiving in October.

I hope this helps somewhat.
