One reason this feast became fixed in our collective memory is due to an accident of timing : the description of it is found in an account of doings in the colony -- written probably by Edward Winslow and William Bradford -- that was sent back to England ; the ship carrying it sailed in the late fall , so that the narrative ends with the pleasant event , giving readers -- then and later -- a sense of hope and promise .
