Log of President Truman's Tenth Visit to Key West, Florida, 8 November-9 December 1951.

Summary:  On this trip, the 10th visit to Key West, President and Mrs. Truman and their guests celebrated Thanksgiving. They ate typical Thanksgiving fare, such as turkey, cranberry sauce, and candied sweet potatoes, as well as slightly more unusual dishes, such as chestnut oyster dressing, molded pineapple salad, mince pie, and plum pudding. In order to create the appropriate fall atmosphere in sunny Florida, pumpkins, fall leaves and flowers, and ears of corn were flown down from Washington, D. C.
