I found this interesting tidbit of history on the UNC Libraries' NC Miscellany blog.
The post outlines the details of Richard Caswell's Day of Thanksgiving Proclamation published in the North Carolina Gazette on Nov.14,1799. Now at that time, Caswell was more thankful for a victory over Generals Burgoyne and Gates and their British forces than he was for turkey and stuffing. Read the original post with a link to Caswell's original proclamation in his own words.
