Blackboard Lessons for
Thanksgiving
Maude M. Grant

The Pilgrims were good people.
They lived in England.
The Pilgrims liked to go to church.
Their king was not kind to them.
He would not let them go to their own church.
So they left England and went to Holland.
The Pilgrims lived in Holland.
They lived there for twelve years.
They saw the wind-mills.
The wind-mills grind the corn.
The wind-mills pump the water.
The Dutch people live in Holland.
The Dutch boys and girls wear wooden shoes.
The Dutch people were kind to the Pilgrims.
The Pilgrims did not wish to live in Holland always.
They wanted a land of their own.
So they sailed across the sea.
The name of their boat was the Mayflower.
It was not a large boat.
The great green waves tossed the Mayflower about.
The Pilgrims sailed a long time over the sea.
The Pilgrims landed at Plymouth.
It was winter and very cold.
There were no houses.
The Pilgrims went into the woods.
They cut down trees and made log houses.
They made a church and a schoolhouse.
The Pilgrims met the Indians.
The Indians were kind to them.
They taught them how to hunt.
They taught them how to fish.
The Indians gave corn to the Pilgrims.
They showed them how to make corn bread.
The Pilgrims had to work very hard.
The winter was very long and cold.
The Pilgrims lived in log houses.
These houses were not warm.
Food was very scarce.
Sometimes the Pilgrims did not have enough to eat.
After awhile the Pilgrims did not have so hard a time. Their corn and vegetables grew and they had a fine harvest.
They caught wild turkeys in the woods.
Soon their barns were full.
They said, "Let us have a day of Thanksgiving.
Let us thank God for His blessings."
So they had the first Thanksgiving Day.

Comprehensive History of Western Civilization through 16th Century

This site is a wonderful resource! See their time line from the founding of Rome in 753 BC through 1566 - the Ottomans conquer European territories in the Balkans. Links to free resources and online books are given from the time line. The free books are page scans of the books with no comprehensive downloads offered; however, if you use the Google Books Search on my side bar, you may find it in a download friendly form(PDF). Also try Gutenberg Books, also on my side bar, and a general Google search.

Some of these books have already been listed here, but I will attempt to add more of them here.

They offer fairly reasonably priced CD collections as well.
