Sarah Josepha Hale deserves almost all the credit for the U.S. having an annual day of thanks, and for it taking place in late November. The settlers at Plymouth Plantation had nothing whatsoever to do with this designation.
That early New England settlers get credit for an aspect of America they had nothing to do with, and that a woman who actually did has been forgotten, is a "tribute" to the power of myth-making in America in the 1800s and early 1900s.
