## Resource

This week, as America celebrates Thanksgiving, host Tim Boyum welcomes author and historian Kenneth Davis to the Tying it Together podcast. Davis talks about the true history behind the story of the first Thanksgiving and many of the myths. The menu will surprise you, and we bet you can't guess which president signed the first proclamation declaring Thanksgiving a holiday. Davis is a New York Times bestselling author of the "Don't Know Much About History" book series and his current book "The World in Books".
