The . details of the celebration are recounted in a letter written by one of the Mayflower pilgrims, Edward Winslow, to a friend back in England on December 11, 1621.
Winslow, later to become governor of the colony himself, told how the pilgrims had har.ested 20 acres of “Indiar com” plus six acres of b' rley and peas, before Bradford declared the holiday, then added:
“Our bay is full of lobsters all the summer and affordeth variety of other fish. All the spring-time the earth sendeth forth naturally very good sallet (salad) herbs. Here are grapes, white and red, and strawberries, gooseberries, plums of three sorts...”
That Thanksgiving later evolved by Presidential proclamation into a nationally celebrated holiday.
It is one of many commemorated in Wildlife’s Holiday Album. The book's four sections—Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter—tell in stories, paintings, photographs, poems, and recipes how man and wildlife enjoy the changing seasons.
They explain the mysteries of wildlife migration and hibernation and depict in color photographs many species of wildlife in their seasonal activities: fireflies lighting up a summer night; a newborn flamingo cautiously greeting spring; migrating Canada geese winging over the Adirondacks in autumn; a snowy owl poised atop a snowdrift, waiting to attack an unwary bird or mouse.
Wildlife’s Holiday Album is available for $9.95 per copy, plus 85 cents in handling charges, from the National Wildlife Federation, 1412 16th St., N. W., Washington, D. C. 20036. After January 1, the price will increase to $11.95.
