Thanksgiving Escape From Confederate Prison Camp
A Union group tunnels from a Confederate prison camp near Salisbury to reach freedom by late November. They endure stifling air and peril, break through the dispensary wall, and share a Thanksgiving meal with farmer James Williamson who grants aid before the escape is completed. Three of the five escapees die on the journey, two reach Federal lines.

Thanksgiving in a City Flat Makes Joys of Past Harvests
The essay reflects on Thanksgiving in urban life, contrasting the holiday’s calm in a 12 to 16 pound turkey within a small apartment with memories of farm scenes and shinney games. It traces how the feast stirs nostalgia for rural summers, corn husks, and family joys, even as the turkey cools and the meal ends.
