About this episode

A Harvest Lesson America Nearly Forgot — Narrated by Dan Larson. The morning after Thanksgiving carries a quieter kind of reflection in Cedar Valley. Dan Larson revisits the often-overlooked truth behind the first Thanksgiving—the near-collapse of the Plymouth colony under a communal system that drained incentive and nearly starved the settlers. Only when families were given responsibility, ownership, and the right to keep what their hands produced did abundance return. Today, as Cedar Valley faces rising costs and modern strains, this old lesson speaks again: peace and stability grow where faith, purpose, and personal responsibility meet. Gratitude is more than a holiday feeling—it’s a way of living. Presented by the Readers and Writers Book Club: https://bit.ly/3KLTyg4
