'FIRST THANKSGIVING AT PLYMOUTH'JENNIE AUGUSTA BROWNSCOMBE, 1914

'CATCHING THE TURKEY'´ ANNA MARY ROBERTSON MOSES,1940

This fine turkey will not end up on anyone's dinner table, he's granted a Presidential pardon that allow him to live out his days on a children's farm not far from the White House.

Cranberries

Excerpt (part) from the poem

Over the river and through the wood— Now grandmother's cap I spy! Hurrah for the fun! Is the pudding done? Hurrah for the pumpkin-pie!

Over the river, and through the wood Trot fast, my dapple-gray! Spring over the ground, Like a hunting-hound! For this is Thanksgiving Day. Over the river, and through the wood, And straight through the barn-yard gate. We seem to go Extremely slow,— It is so hard to wait!

'GIVING THANKS' ANNA MARY ROBERTSON MOSES, 1940
