About this listen
Political Trade Secrets: Join us as we explore the surprising history and politics of Thanksgiving—from the Pilgrims and the first feast in 1621, to Lincoln’s proclamation, and FDR's “Franksgiving” folly.
We discuss:
— What the first Thanksgiving was actually like, and how the menu has changed over time
— How presidents, wars, and politics shaped Thanksgiving into the national holiday we know today
— The backstory of Mark's new book, Witness to War: The Story of the Civil War Told By Those Who Lived It
Whether you’re a history buff, or just love a good story behind tradition, this is one you won’t want to miss.
