Description
The proud turkey and main mascot of Thanksgiving was almost the national symbol of America! Benjamin Franklin thought this bird was the best choice because of it's quick running ability and sharp sight; but, the bald eagle won out. Probably because of it's fierceness and majestic nature. The celebration of a traditional Thanksgiving in many parts of the U.S.A.; however, would not be complete without the legendary Turkey! It adorns the table as the main course during the celebration. This customary dinner was derived from the 'First Thanksgiving Feast' during which it is said; the pilgrims served after their first harvest in the year 1621. This feast according to some accounts, continued for three days and included ninety Indians.
