Gioia posits that the first Thanksgiving was celebrated by Spanish explorers and Timucua tribespeople in Florida in 1565. Though the notion is thought-provoking, many of the book's statements seem based on speculation rather than documentation. Historical and contemporary paintings, photographs, and artifacts depict the coming together of these two cultures. Timeline. Bib., glos., ind.

Events That Shaped America series.
These overviews of key events in American history--an account of the first European colony to survive in North America, the settling of California as a result of the Gold Rush, and the turning point in the Civil War--are sometimes so brief that they are misleading. The books also discuss the aftermath of the events and are illustrated with period reproductions, photos, and maps. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind. [Review covers these Events That Shaped America titles: The Battle of Gettysburg, The Settling of St. Augustine, and The California Gold Rush.]
