An audio slide show featuring an interview by Ed Ayers with Anne Blue Wills. Wills tells the story of Sarah Hale, editor of Godey's Lady's Book, who worked tirelessly to found a national day of Thanksgiving in the mid-19th century. Wills claims that the Thanksgiving we know today may have less to do with pilgrims and Indians and more to do with Hale's strategies for promoting national cohesion and establishing women's roles in society.

Sarah influenced American culture through her writing and magazine editing. Her family roots are Freemasons. Their influence on our world is everywhere. Even this grand holiday can be traced to them. Wow, another clue in the Illuminati puzzle.
