on the last Thursday in November?” and nine of them will answer “Why that’s probably because the Pilgrim Fathers who established it celebrated It then” And that like so many of our “popular at best beliefs” is only a It’s true that the Pilgrim Fathers were day beprincipally responsible for Thanksgiving But it’s ing a red letter day on our calendars also true that we owe the establishment of Thanksgiving day as a national holiday on a certain date (certain to the extent that It always occurs on the last Thursday In November) mainly to two persons a man and a woman to Abraham Lincoln and Sarah Josephs Hale But before discussing their part in the matter of establishing this popular national holiday let’s check up a bit on the history of the deof Thanksgiving The story of the velopment first New England Thanksgiving from which our Is a direct descendant celebration present-dais familiar to all Americans — how that first winter of the Pilgrims in America had been a terrible one of cold and sickness which had left only f5 of the little company of 101 alive when the spring of 1621 came around how all through the summer they watched with the greatest anxiety the progress of the crops they had sown and how when autumn came there was a bountiful harvest Then according to Mourt’s “Itelation or Jour “Our harat Plymouth”: nal of the Plantation sent foure vest being gotten In our Gouvenour men on fowling that so we might after a more after we had speciall manner rejouce together gathered the fruit of our labours they foure In one day killed as much fowle ns with a little helpe besides served the Company almost a week at which time amongst other Recreations we exercised our Armes many of the Indians comus and amongst the rest their ing amongst greatest King Massasoyt with some ninetie men for three dayes we entertained and whom feasted and they went out and killed five Deere which they brought to the Plantation and bestowed on our Oouvernour and upon the and others” The popular view Is that this “first Thanksgiving” was the beginning of a series of such Rut the fact Is that celebrations every year the following year 1G22 no such observance occurred In 1021 a day of thanksgiving was held but not In the autumn and not In connection on July SO It was observed with the harvest and had to do with the safe arrival of a shi load of provisions from England From then on for decades Thanksgiving was Some years observed in most irregular fashion some years had more than one were skipped celebration —sometimes for the arrival of ships more often for victory over the Indians as in the instance of quelling the Pequots In 1G17 and the defeat of King Philip In 1070 It was not until general court Issued 1689 that the Massachusetts the first recorded formal Thanksgiving proc’ lamation war the people and During the Revolutionary the army observed an annual Thanksgiving day but of the Continental congress by proclamation after peace was declared it was discontinued until 1789 In that year a new element came Into the of Thanksgiving and one which has observance That was survived In the present celebration the Presidential proclamation of a Thanksgiving day forthe whole nation and it was George Issued such President who the first Washington a proclamation setting aside Thursday Novem her 20 17S9 as the day It so happened that Thursday November 20 that 1789 was the last Thursday In November year and that fact was to have an important on the later history of Thanksgiving bearing day as we shall see farther on In this article But although Washington was the first to Issue for a national a Presidential proclamation Thanksgiving day he did not establish a precedent which was followed consistently During he again Issued a his second administration On January 1 1795 proclamation Thanksgiving for Thanksgiving” which was then the national In Philadelphia capital he called upon his fellow Americans to “set apart and observe Thursday the nineteenth day of February next as a day of public thanksgiving and prayer and on that day to meet together and render their sincere and hearty thanks to the Great Ruler of Nations for” a long which the country was then list of blessings enjoying was followed The example set by Washington who proclaimed John Adams by his successor two Thanksgiving days during his administration —one on Wednesday May 9 1798 and the other on Thursday April 25 1799 This custom however was allowed to lapse during the two terms of Thomas Jefferson but It was revived by James durMadison who issued four such proclamations Ing his administration The first one of these set In August of 1812 the aside the third Thursday second named the second Thursday In September 1813 as the day the third designated Thursday January 12 1814 and the fourth and last set aside the second Thursday In April 1815 Thus It will be seen that although Thanksgivin the proclamation ing days by Presidential as the day of the main picked upon Thursday week for such an observance the month varied between greatly and there was no connection these Thanksgiving days and the annual observNo other ance established by the Pilgrims 'Presidents after Madison seemed to have had a Thanksgiving occasion for proclaiming day and It remained for Abraham Lincoln to resume the custom and to link up the proclaimed Thanksgiving day with the Pilgrim custom by establishing the last Thursday In November as a national feast day and a day for giving thanks But before adding another star to the crown of the Great Emancipator heed now the ancient la Femme 1” It is “Cherche French admonition here that Sarah Josepha Hale comes Into the Thanksgiving picture For it was Mrs Hale a native of Newport N H known wherever English Is Had a Little spoken as the author of “Mary Lamb” editor of the famous magaslne Godey’s and Lady’s Book and a pioneer In educational civic problems of her day who by canvassing the governors of states and territories and reand by appealconciling sectional differences to successive Presidents brought ing constantly about the establishment of Thanksgiving day as In on the last Thursday a national holiday

Thanksgiving day “We have too few holidays” she wrote at that time like the Fourth of July should “Thanksgiving a national festival and observed be considered as an exponent of our hy all our people republican institutions” But It was not until 1S4G that she began her campaign through the editorial columns of Gndey’s Lady’s Book to hold such a Celebration on a certain date and every year from that time on she waged her campaign Early In the spring she would write letters to the governors of all the states and territories and to Influential persons everywhere asking ’heir assistance In making the last Thursday in choice November which had been Washington's In the hope of bringing— a universal holiday pressure to bear upon the governors she next with literally thousands opened correspondence f private persons of Influence with senators and congressmen and the clergy In her effort for the estabitsnment of state she was almost immediately sucThanksgivings cessful By 1S49 the third year of her cam palgn most states and territories were keeping Individual festivals but no attempt was made to coincide the dates— Maine might celebrate — Twi did — in September and frequently Virginia la in November October and Pennsylvania A conglomeration of state holidays however was not by any manner of means Sarah Hale’s She dreamed of the states Joined In a goal and to this end she

did Pierce his Linnor Buchanan who preceded successor coln Railing with the Presidents she fell back on thus carrying her appeal again her editorials As early as 1852 she bad directly to the people in whipping 29 states and territories succeeded of November Into line for the last Thursday Each year all through the seething '50s she proclaimed in Godey’s Lady’s Book that that day would be Thanksgiving day and In the main the The most gigantic civil country kept it with her strife in the history of the world was pending and political and sectional bitterness was rife In 1859 while the storm was brewing she was more vigorous than ever with her thanksgiving plan In hope that It might help to avert disunion “If every state” she wrote In an editorial In Godey’s “would Join In union Thanksgiving on the of thus month would it not be a renewed pledge of love and loyalty to the of the United States which guarConstitution antees peace prosperity progress and perpetuity to our great Republic?” So In R59 an almost universal Thanksgiving day was kept not In rea Presidential proclamation but besponse to cause a woman asked It In 1801 with the smoke of bnttle darkening the land Mrs Ilnle begged for a “ThanksgivIn ing Day of Peace” but there was no peace 1862 she again failed but In 1803 she won — after 17 years It came In the In this way September she wrote: "Would It not be

state an answer to her letter to the President stating that It was receiving official attention Four days later Abraham Lincoln Issued the first national Thanksgiving sines day proclamation Washington's day In it he said “And so the last Thursday in November Is hereby set apart as a day of thanksgiving and praise” That set the precedent and Lincoln followed It np the next year 1864 by naming the same date (the In bis second and last regular last Thursday) Thanksgiving day proclamation Since that time other Presidents have ‘never deviated from the custom nor have governors of the
