AND SAM HOUSTON INVENTED THE LIGHT BULB - Every Massachusetts
pupil knows that the first Thanksgiving was celebrated at
Plymouth in 1620. Right? Well, not so fast. Virginians say
that it was at Berkely Plantation, Virginia, in 1619. Actually,
both are wrong. The first Thanksgiving was at Palo Duro Canyon,
near present-day Amarillo, where the Francisco Vasquez de
Coronado expedition celebrated a daybreak Mass with friendly Teya
Indians in 1541. So There.
