The New Era (Humeston, Iowa) Nov 22, 1893
Here is another Thanksgiving Day menu, this time from Newark, Ohio — 1888:
The most interesting thing on this menu has to be the Squirrel Potpie! Hm, “hunter’s style” — I wonder what that means? Fur and all?
The following quotes, unattributed, were also on the same page of the paper:
The richest and most envied man unshorn of his wealth of money, but deprived of all the common benefits which his poorest brother man enjoys as an in alienable right, would be poorer than the poorest pauper.
To express adequate thanks for all the blessings the average American citizen enjoys would require a whole week of steady gratitude.
All may give thanks who are stirred by thoughts of the betterment of the world and can rejoice at its continuous and increasing fulfillment. God reigns and God wills, and he neither reigns nor wills for naught.
