About The Story
Not All The Details In This Story Are True. The Times Some Events Occurred Have Been Changed, And The Conversations Are Made Up. Most Of The Things Tad Lincoln Did In This Story Reportedly Happened, Including Saving Jack The Turkey And Bombarding The Cabinet Room Door With His Toy Cannon. Tad Really Was Determined To Raise Money To Help Wounded Soldiers And Did Persuade His Father To Pardon A Woman's Husband So He Wouldn't Be Shot. Although Tad's Antics Often Annoyed His Father's Staff, Most Agreed He Had A Big Heart And A Special Way With Animals. Once He Even Hitched Goats To A Chair And Ran Them Through The White House, Upsetting A Gathering Of Dignified Ladies. Nothing Was Too Surprising When It Came To Tad.
Although Several Presidents Had Declared Occasional Days Of Thanksgiving, None Had Ever Officially Made It A National Holiday. Abraham Lincoln Finally Did So With His Proclamation Of Thanksgiving On October 3, 1863.
