President George Washington proclaimed the first national Thanksgiving Day in 1789 following America's victorious Revolution. Later, in 1846, Mrs. Sarah Josepha Hale, author of "Mary Had a Little Lamb", and editor of both Ladies Magazine and Godey's Lady's Book, began a campaign to make Thanksgiving Day an annual celebration held on the last Thursday in November.
