{"product_id":"no-better-thing-under-the-helen-stringer-9781480016293","title":"No Better Thing Under The Sun: Making the First Thanksgiving","description":"In 1620 a small, leaky boat dropped anchor off the coast of New England. On board were just over one hundred settlers. Some were Puritans and some were not, but all were seeking a new home. By the end of the first winter, nearly half were dead, but by the following Fall they had taken in their first harvest, thanks to hard work and the help of their Wampanoag neighbors. They celebrated this achievement with a feast that we now know as Thanksgiving. But what did they actually eat at that First Thanksgiving? Using a selection of primary sources, including Pilgrim accounts, period cook books, and probate inventories, the author brings the world of the Mayflower settlers to life and creates a 17th century feast incorporating only the ingredients they would have had available (including the five deer that the Wampanoag contributed). An engaging, often humorous, but never dull account of the birth of America's most beloved festival and the Pilgrim Fathers we \u003ci\u003ethought\u003c\/i\u003e we knew.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Helen Stringer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1480016292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781480016293\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/14\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.25d","brand":"Helen Stringer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44149379956991,"sku":"9781480016293","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f3d7e7f1-a1c7-4f23-b5be-2250fbe3d808.jpg?v=1688456379","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/no-better-thing-under-the-helen-stringer-9781480016293","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
