Sybil Bruncheon’s “OUR THANKSGIVING HERITAGE.... HALLELUJAH!!”…

OUR THANKSGIVING HERITAGE!!!..... Our history books all say that when the Pilgrim forefathers first sailed into Cape Cod, they were stunned by the abundance of the New World. This quote from Miles Standish is from a missive to Goody Simplicity Rumplebum; "Yay verily, Mistress, it was owr great goode fortune for wich we prayed our harty thankings, that wen wee landed on the sanddee shor, we did see cuttle fish, clambagoes, winkles, erster shellabones, tunettes, crinkletoes, crays, bombottoms, toozly-toos, and all manour of eatables in vast-yee numbers so that every Christ-ian sole might eet his fill, man, woman and childe!... why even the crabbes and lobsters seemed to walk ashore to greet us when we showed them our poles.... Hallelujah! We all have yowled our gratefull Hallelujah!"...
