ESL theme: the review of Pardon That Turkey

<review>
This book is summary about Thanksgiving story.
The beginning of the book is about how to start and  be declared Thanksgiving.

My image of Thanksgiving was just that the early American settlers who survived that first year in their hometown gathered together to feast and give thanks.

I didn't know that a special woman, Sarah Josepha Hole, had to fight to have declared for long time, so I felt interesting.

After seventeen years and thousands of letters to Presidents, congressmen and local officials, Sarah's fight had come to end.

President Lincoln saw her point. After the civil war, the country did need something to help pull it together.

In 1863, he declared Thanksgiving a national holiday.
It would be celebrated every year on the last Thursday in November.
