There are two written sources which mention the Plymouth Colony harvest feast in 1621. One is the journal of governor William Bradford, published as "Of Plymouth Plantation, 1620-1647". The other is a journal of Edward Winslow (though some parts may have been written by Bradford, as well), which was published in 1622 in London and is now commonly known as "Mourt's Relation".
"Of Plymouth Plantation" is still in print. "Mourt's Relation" can be found on-line.

But venison and fowl still may be found at Thanksgiving meals nowadays.Additionally, it's possible that the first Thanksgiving meal included berries, fruits, nuts, and vegetables. Such fare is common nowadays too. For example, cranberries and pumpkins find their way onto modern Thanksgiving tables. So might they have been found during that first Thanksgiving celebration.

It is not likely that the pilgrims served pie on Thanksgiving, at least not at the first Thanksgiving. It's likely that they were out of the flour they brought with them and did not have the ingredients or a way to bake them at that time.

What we now know as the First Thanksgiving was celebrated by the pilgrims to give thanks for a successful corn harvest. The Native Americans (Indians) joined in celebrating with the pilgrims. At the time, they had no way to know that it would result in a national holiday that is celebrated still.
