Why would an American President pardon a turkey? How did the turkey become the symbol of Thankgsgiving? Such are the questions that perplex a young student, who wonders how these traditions got started. In his quest for answers, he discovers that the historical truth of the first Thanksgiving isn't quite as expected. |
