A girl carries a box across an open field while other children move around her, the kind of scene that ties the holiday to the work of the autumn harvest. Thanksgiving in the United States grew out of harvest celebrations, and for many rural families the season meant the whole household, children included, gathered crops, hauled produce, and readied food for the table. Pictures of children at work in fields like this one often show how the holiday's agricultural roots were part of everyday life. Look at the box and the open ground, which suggest the practical side of a harvest that the later holiday customs would come to represent.
