Pilgrims and Puritans: Who really shaped Thanksgiving?
Wondering the difference between Pilgrims and Puritans? Many New Englanders know the story of the first Thanksgiving in Plymouth , but with both the Pilgrims and Puritans establishing colonies in Massachusetts, it can be easy to mix up which group the holiday originated with.

With the band’s core fanbase too old for the first and (probably) too responsible for the second, that left the last option on Tuesday, as the veteran band brought its Final Frontier Tour to the TD Garden.
