77 The Mother of Thanksgiving

She was ignored by every administration for decades… until her words landed on the desk of Abraham Lincoln during the darkest chapter of the Civil War.

This is the true story of the woman whose persistence shaped one of America’s most beloved holidays — and the twist of fate that finally brought Thanksgiving to life.
