The Pilgrim Hall Museum has this record of the 2 (and only 2) primary sources for the events of autumn 1621 in Plymouth : Edward Winslow writing in Mourt's Relation and William Bradford writing in Of Plymouth Plantation
The eyewitness accounts don't use the name 'Thanksgiving' however it does describe a feast of many days in length, and describes a mingling of native people with the Pilgrim settlers.
