Via Althouse, apparently Rush Limbaugh is ready to blow his top over this article.
God knows why- I mean of course the story of the first Thanksgiving is a myth. A national myth, but a myth nonetheless- just as Britain has Queen Boadicea and King Arthur. Doesn't make the story any less important. Doesn't take away from the tradition. Just means that it's not historically accurate.
(Just like the statue of Queen Boadicea in London, while very 'girl power' and down right scary, is all about the heroic traditions of national myth, but in reality, she probably didn't look quite that good in her chariot. If she had a chariot at all.)
