Salvete Omnes,
Happy and joyful Thanksgiving, may very evil stay away far and far and.
today is our much loved Thanksgiving and we do eat turkeys in a family feast-like gathering; usually we enjoy one large bird either baked, grilled, roasted and broiled or fried at al, with much cranberry sauce, gravy, and staffing, some mash potatoes (another native American food ), and a pumpkin or pecan pie to top off. enjoy your feast.
So let me share some old and new writings about the America's turkey as it is connected with the native people of the continent..
Indians of North America domesticated, in Central Mexico and Southwest, the wild turkey. Here there is a link to Academia article on the Maya turkey husbandry. Upon the conquest of Mesoamerica the the Spanish conquistadors brought the turkey with them while sailing back to their 'Old World' kingdoms, hence all modern turkeys originate from those brought from Mexico.
Fast forward to the 18770s colonel Richard I. Doge described wild turkey and its habits and hunting in his book on the hunting in great West.
