The Mourning Road To Thanksgiving By Larry Spotted Crow Mann

Thanksgiving is a holiday that is traditionally celebrated with family and friends, and is seen as a time to give thanks for one's blessings.

A funny and educative novel by Larry Spotted Crow Mann, "The Mourning Road to Thanksgiving" challenges the stereotypical American holiday tradition.

The tale of Thanksgiving is a story that has been passed down through generations in American society and is deeply ingrained in American culture.
