Origin of establishing Thanksgiving Day

Did you know that many American leaders were involved in establishing our American day of thanksgiving?  This included George Washington, the prodding upon many presidents by Sarah Hale, a proclamation on Oct 3, 1863 by President Lincoln to set aside the last Thursday of November, and finally in 1941, Congress permanently established the fourth Thursday of each November as a national holiday.
