This captivating history of the first Thanksgiving reveals that much of what we think we know about the Pilgrims is wrong. The first Thanksgiving wasn't celebrated with turkey (there weren't any in Massachusetts, and even if there had been the Pilgrims' muskets were unlikely to fire quickly enough to kill one), or cranberry sauce (there was no sugar to sweeten the bitter fruit), and didn't take place until 1621.
