PART ONE- VOYAGE TO AMERICA
PART TWO- NATIVES AND THE FEAST
PART THREE- The GIFT from GOD
Michael Medved did the best Historical Rendition of the Voyage to AMERICA and the FIRST THANKSGIVING.
Juan knows Michael and highly recommends this as the true story behind our holiday we celebrate every year. This year on November 28 2024. Let your relatives and children listen to this.. the pictures come from another recreation of this time period.
PART ONE is the lead up to the arrival of the Mayflower in Plymouth in 1620-21. History shows that the Voyage was not easy for the Pilgrims. They endured many hardships and persevered with GODS GUIDANCE at every turn. The pictures and part of the interviews from the mentions of a Pastor and Historian are not used in Voice but given credit for at the end of the series.
Who were the people of the Plymouth Colony and why did they hold a feast of celebration in 1621 which we now call the first Thanksgiving? How did they manage that first winter in the wilderness? Why are these few settlers in New England held in such high esteem today when they considered their accomplishments all to be failures? And, what about those Puritans? Do they deserve the grim image history has given them?
Learn the answers to these questions and more in this special Thanksgiving Day holiday history program.
The Light and the Glory - Marshall, Peter|Manuel, David is highly recommended and used as source material for this broadcast.
Juan mentions the STORY of THANKSGIVING by Michael Medved. This is his BIO:
Born in Philadelphia, Michael attended public schools in San Diego and Los Angeles before starting Yale at age 16 as a National Merit Scholar. He majored in American History and graduated with honors, before attending Yale Law School.
This is a review:
I learned so much from this recording. Michael starts at the beginning, in Scrooby, England, and takes the tale all the way to 1690 (or thereabouts) when the Plymouth Colony was absorbed into the Mass. Bay Colony. He explains the difference between Pilgrims and Puritans. He also quotes periodically from sources (and mentions books to read for further information). "The First Thanksgiving" is really told like a great story, not a dry lecture. Even my 4-year-old was listening! (A word of caution for parents--there is a brief mention of bestiality. It was a crime and the person was executed. My little one didn't pick up on it, but I personally wouldn't want to explain that to a young child.)
