The First Thanksgiving Proclamation
(June 20, 1676)
On June 20, 1676, the governing council of Charlestown,
Massachusetts, held a meeting to determine how best to
express thanks for the good fortune that had seen
their community securely established. By unamimous
vote they instructed Edward Rawson, the clerk, to
proclaim June 29 as a day of thanksgiving, our first.
That proclamation is reproduced here in the same
language and spelling as the original.

SONG OF THE PILGRIMS
By NancySue Krenrich
Across the rolling, wind-swept sea
For months we've sailed along,
I see a land that's new to me
Against the blue horizon.
Oh, beautiful land of freedom born,
I've come across the sea
To reap your fruits and build my home,
And make my people free.
