When we were in elementary school we all learned the story of Thanksgiving. On Dec. 20, 1620, 102 pilgrims sailing aboard the Mayflower landed at Plymouth Rock. Struggling through a devastating winter, 46 of the pilgrims perished. But their fortunes improved and the harvest of 1621 was a bountiful one.
