Round-up of Thanksgiving Op-eds

November 27, 2008 3:49 pm

Nice round-up of op-eds and other writings in newspapers and other media, on Thanksgiving, at Religion In American History.

I learned a lot.

• Mark Twain’s homesick fantasy Thanksgiving menu is worth keeping, and worth pondering as it relates to American culture, America’s wildlands and public lands, and this last, 55-day dash by the People In Power to decimate the Endangered Species Act’s work.

• Karl Jacoby wrote in the Los Angeles Times the sad truth of the Indians and “Pilgrims.”

There’s more.  This one post could be the source for a fun Documents Based Question for practice in an AP class, history or economics — maybe English, too?
