| Summary | "Chanticleer" by Cornelius Mathews is a Thanksgiving-themed story written in the mid-19th century. This work centers on the Peabody family, particularly focusing on the patriarch Sylvester Peabody and his family members as they gather to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday. The narrative weaves together themes of family, gratitude, and the complexities of personal histories that shape their interactions. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Sylvester Peabody, who finds himself lost in memories of the past, particularly concerning his absent son, Elbridge, whose tragic circumstances loom over the family. As preparations for Thanksgiving commence, Sylvester grapples with feelings of loss and anticipation, while the arrival of family members, including other Peabodys and the fashionable Mrs. Carrack and her son Tiffany, brings a mix of excitement and tension. The gathering is marred by unresolved questions surrounding Elbridge's fate, as well as reflections on familial bonds, character, and the burdens of expectation, setting the stage for a rich exploration of the Peabody family's dynamics during this significant holiday.
