When was the first Thanksgiving celebration?
Historians do not definitively know the exact day and date, but it is universally agreed that Gov. William Bradford declared a day of thanksgiving after the successful harvest in the fall of 1621.
In early autumn of 1621, the 53 surviving Pilgrims celebrated their successful harvest, as was the English custom. During this time, "many of the Indians coming... amongst the rest their great king Massasoit, with some ninety men."
That 1621 celebration is remembered as the "First Thanksgiving in Plymouth."
The Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast together. It is now acknowledged as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies.
The evidence is from a letter dated December 11/12, 1621 where Edward Winslow described: Our corn [i.e. wheat] did prove well, and God be praised, we had a good increase of Indian corn, and our barley indifferent good, but our peas not worth the gathering, for we feared they were too late sown. They came up very well, and blossomed, but the sun parched them in the blossom. Our harvest being gotten in, our governor sent four men on fowling, that so we might after a special manner rejoice together after we had gathered the fruit of our labors. They four in one day killed as much fowl as, with a little help beside, served the company almost a week. At which time, amongst other recreations, we exercised our arms, many of the Indians coming amongst us, and among the rest their greatest king Massasoit, with some ninety men, whom for three days we entertained and feasted, and they went out and killed five deer, which they brought to the plantation and bestowed on our governor, and upon the captain and others. And although it be not always so plentiful as it was at this time with us, yet by the goodness of God, we are so far from want that we often wish you partakers of our plenty.
Some believe the First Thanksgiving was held in mid-October but most believe it was sometime in November.
