Happy Thanksgiving

And have a beer: Sam Adams and 'A Day of Thanksgiving'

When was the first Thanksgiving? Most of us think of the Pilgrims at Plymouth in 1621. But if the question is about the first national Thanksgiving holiday, the answer is that the tradition began at a lesser-known moment in 1777 in York, Pa.

  • 1) Happy Thanksgiving
