Summary "Grand'ther Baldwin's Thanksgiving, with Other Ballads and Poems" by Horatio Alger, Jr. is a collection of poems and ballads composed during the late 19th century. The book explores themes of family, gratitude, and the passage of time through the lens of Thanksgiving celebrations and various life experiences. It provides a nostalgic look into traditional rural life in America, capturing the essence of warmth, love, and community. The titular poem, "Grand'ther Baldwin's Thanksgiving," paints a vivid picture of an idyllic family gathering, highlighting the joy and chaos brought by grandchildren on Thanksgiving Day. It reflects on the simple pleasures derived from abundance and togetherness, characterized by the bountiful feast prepared by Grand'ther Baldwin and the lively antics of the children. Other poems in the collection convey sentiments of love and longing, showcase snapshots of everyday life, and comment on broader social issues, such as the impact of war on families.
