A Thanksgiving Tale is the triumphant story of unity in diversity. A small town's successful battle to overcome a factory owner's poisonous pollution, stonewalling, indifference, and legal skirmishes—fiction based on actual events. When grime, slime, and time adversely affected the inhabitants, a group of concerned citizens of different social and ethnic backgrounds banded together to protect human life and the environment. A Native American, Mayflower and slave descendants, European and Chinese immigrants, and others, all fought side by side. They used many forms of human ingenuity and cooperation,

With tenacity and joy, they created a model for America. A modest proposal for an evolving, all-encompassing celebration of Thanksgiving and our many blessings.

A Thanksgiving Tale is about an inclusive, reinvigorated Thanksgiving holiday, celebrating the "gifts" we take for granted:  our "melting pot," clean water, fresh air, freedom of the press, the rule of law, and science.

Foreword

A Thanksgiving Tale: Blue Paws on Main Street

This book is a modest proposal for an evolving, reinvigorated, all-encompassing celebration of Thanks- giving and our many blessings through the tale of a small town’s successful battle to overcome grime, slime, and time. It is based on a true story.

Let us reconsider the gifts we take for granted, such as clean water, fresh air, freedom of the press, the rule of law, science, unity, diversity, and much more.

In this story, like Dickens’s Bleak House, decades roll by. This case features a factory owner’s poisonous pollution, stonewalling, indifference, and legal skirmishes that adversely affect the inhabitants. The bottom line is the protection of human life and the environment, achieved thanks to many forms of human ingenuity and cooperation.

The leitmotif is “Justice, justice shall ye pursue.”
