From One Gobbler and World War Feathers Tale
A rambling tale blends toy purchases and a Civil War eagle feather story. It notes a gobbler priced at $500 and lists gifts like a Victrola and a Typewriter, then shifts to Private Billy and Old Abe the American eagle, describing feather hunting during moulting season and the value of eagle feathers, with a final mention of $500 earned by the turkey hunter.
