Dankzegging door: Robert Haven Schauffler

One of our favorite things to do during holidays is to read! Thanksgiving by Robert Haven Schauffler is a free and comprehensive collection of poems, essays, plays, and stories all about Thanksgiving. The extensive introduction explains the origins of this “very American” holiday beginning with the harvest celebrations found in the Old Testament through George Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation of 1789.

Then the heart of the book is divided into literary works that fit the categories of:

• Origin
• Celebration
• The Spirit of Thanksgiving
• The Thanksgiving Season
• Exercises (readings and plays)
