Thanksgiving Turkey History Roosevelt tried to change the date of Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving History The wild turkey (Meleagris gallopa) is native to
North America and was a staple in the Native American diet. It was
imported to Europe in the early part of the 16th century by the
Spaniards via Turkey (the country.) It was confused in those early
times with the Guinea fowl which also arrived via Turkey, and both
birds were called turkeys in those days. When it was assigned its
latin name in the 18th century, the name turkey still stuck. Native
Americans called it peru with no reference to the country of the same
name.
Turkey was introduced to the early Pilgrim settlers by the Native
American Wampanoag tribe after the Pilgrims arrived in 1620. The first
year for the settlers was bleak, with many dying from the journey.
Their seeds, aside from barley, did not produce any usable crops. The
Indians assisted the settlers, introducing them to nativefoods such as
corn and squash and showed them how to hunt and fish. The first
Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1621 at the behest ofGovernor William
Bradford, and the Native Americans were invited guests of honor.
Thanksgiving became an official holiday in the United States on
October 3, 1863 via proclamation issued by President Abraham Lincoln.
This was largely due to the lobbying efforts of Sarah Josepha Hale,
editor of Godey's Lady's Magazine who had lobbied for 17 years for the
holiday. The proclamation declared the last Thursday in November as
Thanksgiving Day.
By 1916, Thanksgiving was referred to in writings as Turkey Day due to
the popularity of the birdat the traditional feast.
Interestingly enough, in 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt
attempted to move the official Thanksgiving date to earlier in
November in order encourage a longer Christmas shopping season as a
Depression recovery strategy.
