Snow-covered woods and a Pilgrim man carrying a musket set this scene apart from the harvest tables usually shown on Thanksgiving boards. The 1621 feast at Plymouth took place in autumn, so the wintry setting reflects how later artists imagined the colonists' hardships rather than the celebration itself. Hunting and guarding against attack were real parts of colonial life, and the quiet pairing of the two figures points to the everyday labor and risk behind the holiday's legend. Images like this grew popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries, when the Pilgrims were becoming a national symbol.
