Tad Lincoln was forever getting into trouble. He bounced around the White House making mischief and annoying almost everyone but the president. Yet Tad was his father’s joy and comfort amidst a brutal war, a family tragedy, and the toll of holding the nation’s highest office. When Tad befriends a turkey meant to be Thanksgiving dinner, his plea for the pet to be spared teaches Abe a lesson about mercy. It also starts the tradition of the Thanksgiving turkey pardon, a tradition that presidents carry on to this day.
