[LM_NET] Older picture books about Thanksgiving?

[Debbie Reese <debreese@UIUC.EDU>]

Good morning,

In the last few days I've been looking at new 
(since 1999) picture books about Thanksgiving. 
About half of the set I'm looking at do not 
include any references to American Indians or 
Pilgrims. The story, instead, is about families 
and their meal together, remembering things to be thankful for...

I wonder if, at one point in time, most or all 
the picture books about Thanksgiving were about 
Pilgrims and Indians. Books published prior to, say, 1970?

If you've got any books that old on your shelf, 
I'd really like to hear from you...  Do they 
include 'Pilgrims and Indians' content?
