Thanksgiving Day Feast In Lumber Camps Of Maine
In Maine lumber camps Thanksgiving menus mix rabbit meat with hearty staples. Rabbits, beans, brown bread, molasses, and tea or coffee fuel the camp feast, while outside the heat and cold of early winter push the cook to create hearty dishes. The piece contrasts historic pilgrim feasts with current camp meals and notes a shift from moose to rabbit as the holiday centerpiece. Revered clergy also feature in local church services. Homer City guests join Ralph J. McConnaughey and family for a wedding reception.
