History of the presidential Thanksgiving turkey pardon

A survey of how presidents began sparing turkeys dates to Lincoln in 1863 with Tad’s turkey Jack. It covers Vose’s 1873 gift, Roosevelt, Coolidge and Nixon era shifts, and Bush in 1989 formalizing pardons. The tradition remains a yearly photo op and two birds are often presented.
