Review of 'This Land Is Their Land: The Wampanoag Indians, Plymouth Colony, and the Troubled History of Thanksgiving' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I've known that the common retelling of the 'First Thanksgiving' has been fiction for a long time now, but the extent to which it's a fairly recent fiction and holiday (6 generations maybe) ,and how thoroughly incorrect the standard notion what the southern new England indigenous population relationships with Europeans is still pretty staggering to read about.
