En Route to Thanksgiving, Turkeys as Horses
Thanksgiving Greetings
En route To Thanksgiving -
unused embossed postcard
I love how the turkeys are harnessed as horses for the buggy. There is a printing error. If you look at the red on the faces of the children, the lips and hair highlights are off to the left.

I did a search to see if turkeys were on the table at the first Thanksgiving dinner with the pilgrims and the indians. Here are actual items I found that people are saying were served at the first feast ...
lobster, goose, duck, seal, eel, deer, cod, cranberries but not as a sauce or relish, boiled pumpkin - not as a pie, rabbit, chicken, squashes, beans, mussels, clams, swan - yes, one website said they ate swans, chestnuts, hickory nuts, onions, leeks, corn, dried fruits, maple syrup and honey, radishes, cabbage, carrots, eggs, and one says maybe goat cheese too.
I know what you're thinking - what??? they didn't have green bean casserole?!? Sadly, French Fried Onions weren't invented until the 1920's.
