With skies predominantly cloudy, and gloomy weather prevailing [...]

The turkey is a large bird native to North America. Domestication of the turkey probably began in Mexico. The Spanish carried the bird to Europe in the 16th century, and the Pilgrims brought several domesticated turkeys with them to America in 1620. The turkey was probably not on the menu at the first Thanksgiving dinner. The meals at the celebration, which lasted several days, usually featured venison as the main meat item.
