Well put, Lyle.
I suspect that one reason for perpetuating
the inaccurate tale is that it's easier to do than to do the
research and put together a story for children about Thanksgiving
at Berkeley Plantation.

I cannot believe that a resident of Virginia is perpetuating the
historical inaccuracy that the Pilgrims had the first Thanksgiving.
Berkeley Plantation in Charles City had it, and this by proclamation
of none other than Pilgrim state resident President J. F. Kennedy.
The VA Thanksgiving is every bit as riveting as the johnny-come-
lately northern edition and without the slightest bit of
embellishment can more than hold its own.
Let's not promote inaccurate versions.
