Biography

The “first” Thanksgiving held by the Pilgrims in was not the first celebration held in America or the New World. History records several “giving thanks” events were mentioned by early explorers such as Coronado, Juan Ponce de Leon, or Hernando de Soto.

It was pretty much standard after crossing the Atlantic in a tiny boat or wandering across the continent with no map for guidance to be very thankful for having arrived at a destination. Florida claims two “first” Thanksgiving celebrations. One at what would become St. Augustine in and the other in at what was called Fort Caroline on the May River whose true location has become a source of a dispute between Georgia and Florida.

^[1] Florida claims the May River is now known as the St Johns River, at what became Jacksonville, Florida.

Jean ribault Rene Goulaine de Laudonnière (French pronunciation: ; c. –) was a French Huguenot explorer and the founder of the French colony of Fort Caroline in what is now Jacksonville, Florida. Admiral Gaspard de Coligny, a Huguenot, sent Jean Ribault and Laudonnière to explore potential sites in Florida suitable for settlement by the French.

^[2] While new archeological evidence now points to a different location, on the Altamaha River in Georgia. ^[3]

The French had been attempting to colonize the southeastern coast of what are now the states of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida as early as in an expedition led by Jean Ribault. [6]. Unfortunately, this effort was unsuccessful and in a second expedition led by Ribault’s former Lieutenant (René Laudonniére ) was sent in a second attempt at colonization.

A three ship fleet commanded by René Goulaine de Laudonniére departed Le Havre de Grâce, France on April 22, with colonists many of them French Huguenots. (Another list itemizes the people as: sailors, soldiers, and the rest artisans, servants, and page boys.

Four women were also aboard and, reportedly, this caused trouble.) ^[4] The Fleet arrived on the shore of what they called New France on June 22, [7] The claim of a “Thanksgiving” event rests on a description (dated 30 June ) which was mentioned by Laudonniere in his memoir published a few years after the events he describes. “On the morrow, about break of day, I commanded a trumpet to be sounded, that, being assembled, we might give God thanks for our favorable and happy arrival.

Then we sang a psalm of thanksgiving unto God, beseeching him that it would please him of his grace to continue his accustomed goodness toward us, his poor servants, and aid us in all our enterprises, that all might turn to his glory and the advancement of our King. The prayer ended, every man began to take courage.” ^[5][6] Reportedly joining Laudonniere and the French settlers were members of the local Timucuan tribe who shared a feast of Thanksgiving.
