Description
In this episode of the Bell's Books and Blog Podcast, host Jane M. Bell explores the history and traditions of Thanksgiving. She starts with the story of Sarah Josepha Hale who, in addition to authoring 'Mary Had a Little Lamb', led a 17-year-long campaign to make Thanksgiving a national holiday. Jane then shifts to the intriguing tale of the "Great Turkey Theft of 1946," where 500 turkeys were stolen from a farm in Vineland, New Jersey, days before Thanksgiving. The podcast wraps up with a deep dive into the history of the foods we eat during Thanksgiving, from the turkey centerpiece to the pumpkin pie dessert. The podcast perfectly intertwines fascinating historical tales, demonstrating that Thanksgiving is much more than a feast; it's a testament to resilience, unity, and expressed gratitude spanning centuries.
