Celebrating Thanksgiving with Dolphins and Sunsets Thanksgiving at Key Lime Sailing Club and Cottages was a day to remember! We’re thankful for our amazing guests, the outstanding job of the KLSC crew, with a special thanks to Jen, the joy of new friendships, and the beauty of dolphins swimming by as we shared a feast. The sunset capped off a perfect day. Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving—join us next year to make more memories! Dolphins, sunsets, and a feast to remember— see our Thanksgiving highlights on Facebook! The Wampanoag and Thanksgiving Did you know that the Wampanoag, whose history dates back 12,000 years, were made up of 67 villages across Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket, and played a vital role in the Pilgrims’ survival? During the harsh winter of 1620-1621, they taught the settlers essential farming and fishing skills, laying the foundation for what we now celebrate as the first Thanksgiving. In the autumn of 1621, about 90 Wampanoag joined 52 settlers for a three-day feast featuring venison, wildfowl such as ducks and geese, cod, bass, and flint corn. While turkey may have been on the table, it wasn’t the star of the show as we think of it today. Despite their generosity, the Wampanoag faced devastating challenges in the years that followed, including disease, land conflicts, and war. Yet their legacy endures. Today, vibrant Wampanoag communities, such as the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe and the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah), continue to preserve their culture, sharing traditions like the “Legends of Moshup” pageant. This Thanksgiving, let’s honor the enduring spirit and incredible contributions of the Wampanoag people. Set Sail on a New Career Path! Ready to turn your passion for sailing into a profession?

Today, as we gather to commemorate Memorial Day, let us take a moment to delve into the untold origins and evolution of this cherished holiday. In a captivating article by Richard Gardiner, we embark on a journey through the forgotten history that shaped Memorial Day into the symbol of unity and remembrance it is today. From acts of generosity and reconciliation after the Civil War to its profound significance as a day of honoring sacrifices, this article, originally published on The Conversation, sheds light on the remarkable story behind Memorial Day. Join us in reflecting on the profound meaning behind this commemorative day and gain a deeper appreciation for the sacrifices of those who have served our nation.   The Forgotten History of Memorial Day   Memorial Day was born out of generous gestures after the Civil War: Southerners decorated graves of Confederate soldiers as well as those of former Union enemies.   Preparing to decorate graves, May 1899. Library of Congress   In the years following the bitter Civil War, a former Union general took a holiday originated by former Confederates and helped spread it across the entire country.   The holiday was Memorial Day, an annual commemoration was born in the former Confederate States in 1866 and adopted by the United States in 1868. It is a holiday in which the nation honors its military dead.   Gen. John A. Logan, who headed the largest Union veterans’ fraternity at that time, the Grand Army of the Republic, is usually credited as being the originator of the holiday.   Yet when General Logan established the holiday, he acknowledged its genesis among the Union’s former enemies, saying, “It was not too late for the Union men of the nation to follow the example of the people of the South.”   I’m a scholar who has written – with co-author Daniel Bellware – a history of Memorial Day. Cities and towns across America have for more than a century claimed to be the holiday’s birthplace, but we have sifted through the myths and half-truths and uncovered the authentic story of how this holiday came into being.   Generous acts bore fruit   During 1866, the first year of this annual observance in the South, a feature of the holiday emerged that made awareness, admiration and eventually imitation of it spread quickly to the North.   During the inaugural Memorial Day observances which were conceived in Columbus, Georgia, many Southern participants – especially women – decorated graves of Confederate soldiers as well as, unexpectedly, those of their former enemies who fought for the Union.    Civil War Union Gen. John A. Logan. Library of Congress Glass negatives   Shortly after those first Memorial Day observances all across the South, newspaper coverage in the North was highly favorable to the ex-Confederates.   “The action of the ladies on this occasion, in burying whatever animosities or ill-feeling may have been engendered in the late war towards those who fought against them, is worthy of all praise and commendation,” wrote one paper.   On May 9, 1866, the Cleveland Daily Leader lauded the Southern women during their first Memorial Day.   “The act was as beautiful as it was unselfish, and will be appreciated in the North.”   The New York Commercial Advertiser, recognizing the magnanimous deeds of the women of Columbus, Georgia, echoed the sentiment. “Let this incident, touching and beautiful as it is, impart to our Washington authorities a lesson in conciliation.”   Power of a poem   To be sure, this sentiment was not unanimous. There were many in both parts of the U.S. who had no interest in conciliation.   But as a result of one of these news reports, Francis Miles Finch, a Northern judge, academic and poet, wrote a poem titled “The Blue and the Gray.” Finch’s poem quickly became part of the American literary canon. He explained what inspired him to write it:   “It struck me that the South was holding out a friendly hand, and that it was our duty, not only as conquerors, but as men and their fellow citizens of the nation, to grasp it.”    Finch’s poem seemed to extend a full pardon to the South: “They banish our anger forever when they laurel the graves of our dead” was one of the lines.    Not just poems: Sheet music written to commemorate Memorial Day in 1870. Library of Congress   Almost immediately, the poem circulated across America in books, magazines and newspapers. By the end of the 19th century, school children everywhere were required to memorize Finch’s poem. The ubiquitous publication of Finch’s rhyme meant that by the end of 1867, the southern Memorial Day holiday was a familiar phenomenon throughout the entire, and recently reunited, country.   General Logan was aware of the forgiving sentiments of people like Finch. When Logan’s order establishing Memorial Day was published in various newspapers in May 1868, Finch’s poem was sometimes appended to the order.   ‘The blue and the grey’   It was not long before Northerners decided that they would not only adopt the Southern custom of Memorial Day, but also the Southern custom of “burying the hatchet.” A group of Union veterans explained their intentions in a letter to the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph on May 28, 1869:   “Wishing to bury forever the harsh feelings engendered by the war, Post 19 has decided not to pass by the graves of the Confederates sleeping in our lines, but divide each year between the blue and the grey the first floral offerings of a common country. We have no powerless foes. Post 19 thinks of the Southern dead only as brave men.”    Other reports of reciprocal magnanimity circulated in the North, including the gesture of a 10-year-old who made a wreath of flowers and sent it to the overseer of the holiday, Colonel Leaming, in Lafayette, Indiana, with the following note attached, published in The New Hampshire Patriot on July 15, 1868:   “Will you please put this wreath upon some rebel soldier’s grave? My dear papa is buried at Andersonville, (Georgia) and perhaps some little girl will be kind enough to put a few flowers upon his grave.”    President Abraham Lincoln’s wish that there be “malice toward none” and “charity for all” was visible in the magnanimous actions of participants on both sides, who extended an olive branch during the Memorial Day observances in those first three years.   Although not known by many today, the early evolution of the Memorial Day holiday was a manifestation of Lincoln’s hope for reconciliation between North and South.      Richard Gardiner is an associate professor of History Education at Columbus State University.   Key Lime Sailing Club and Cottages | 305-451-3438 | 99306 Overseas Highway, Key Largo Florida | www.keylimesailingclub.com  ‌  ‌  ‌
