What really happened at the first Thanksgiving-and what have we forgotten since?In The Real Story of Thanksgiving, author Thomas J. Grey uncovers the untold stories of America’s most mythologized holiday. With a blend of narrative history, Native American voices, and cultural insight, this nonfiction work deconstructs the Thanksgiving myth and reveals the truths hidden beneath the feast. From the complex lives of the Wampanoag and the brutal legacy of King Philip’s War to the political invention of the holiday during the Civil War, this book challenges readers to see Thanksgiving not just as a day of thanks-but as a mirror of American history itself. Ideal for educators, families, and anyone rethinking what Thanksgiving is for, this book includes reflections on how Native communities observe (or resist) the holiday today, and how diverse families reinterpret Thanksgiving through holiday feasts, cultural storytelling, and even alternative recipes. Whether you’re seeking Native American history, a richer understanding of American history’s untold stories, or new ways to teach the Thanksgiving controversy in classrooms, The Real Story of Thanksgiving offers a deeply honest, powerful guide. Traditional and contemporary recipes included
