In contrast to common market birds, the wild North American turkey faces near extinction.

Mrs Hale and the Thanksgiving Day proclamation
The narrative credits Mrs. Hale of Philadelphia with pushing for a national Thanksgiving on the last Thursday in November. Her efforts gained traction before the Civil War, then resumed with Lincoln who proclaimed August 6 1863 as a day of national thanksgiving.
