The Woman Who Saved Thanksgiving, by Anderson $16.95 (hard cover) Way back when "skirts were long and hats were tall," Americans were forgetting Thanksgiving and nobody seemed to care!

Squanto's Journey: The Story of the First Thanksgiving, by Bruchac & Shed $16.00 (hard cover) Squanto - courageous, generous and kind.
