Abstract#2607; Plimoth Plantation; Thanksgiving '83 1627 and Plimoth Plantation are the settings for Good Day; Abraham Lincoln declared the formal date for a Thanksgiving annual holiday; reenactors tell about the original days surrounding the voyage and landing [some audio is dropped]; black screen breaks; native people tried to get along with the newcomers and their descendants talk about the relations; a household and furnishings are described and observed; roof thatching is described; punishment by putting in the stocks is also discussed; trestle sawing is demonstrated; salting cod is demonstrated; cranberry bogs are on the visitor's tour; a modern-day weather report predicts a stormy evening but better weekend weather; gardening is demonstrated; a drum roll calls the men to attention for instructions; thrashing grain is demonstrated; a group of children is asked what they would miss about their current lives if they had to live as the pilgrims lived; Bradford history books are the few and far between for learning about the life of pilgrims;
