Thanksgiving Week in Comanche Echoes Texas History
The Comanche Chief prints a Thanksgiving Week feature tracing the holiday’s origins from 1621 pilgrims to Lincoln’s 1863 proclamation and Roosevelt’s 1939 date change, noting the 1941 Congress fix and football ties with Texas A&M and UT. It also describes the Big Thicket in Texas, its wildlife, plants, and tourism potential, urging careful exploration with guides and gear.
