There were about one hundred and forty people at the first Thanksgiving.
aproximently 53 survived to celebrate "thanksgiving". that is not what they called it then though. and many people celebrate thanksgiving with turkey now a days but that was not what had happened. wild turkeys were often way to hard tocatch so they ate a lot of deer meet and fish but they did have a coiple of turkeys.turkey was not their min dish because they couldn't kill them. so yes there was not a lot of people to celebrate this harvest time because there was a lot of disease and things of that nature that had killed off most of the pilgrims. so there was aproximently53 survivers!

According to a letter, hand-written by a Pilgrim named Edward Wintston, all of the Pilgrims who were present at the first Thanksgiving were survivors of the voyage on the Mayflower. Those present at the first Thanksgiving feast were 22 men, 13 children, 14 teenagers, and four married women. A total of 53 pilgrims were there. There were also some 90 Indians in attendance. Also derived from the letter is that the Indians killed 5 deer for the feast and brought them to share with the Pilgrims.

The first winter for the pilgrims was almost unbearable. Many houses were not finished, so men and women stayed aboard the ship in order to keep warm and dry. Almost half of all of the pilgrims died that first winter of exposure or starvation.
There are two women pilgrims in Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales": the Wife of Bath and the Prioress.
