Oysters A Foot Long.

Published in the Waukegan Daily Sun, Waukegan, Illinois on Monday, December 4, 1911

Labadist missionaries in America wrote to Europe in 1697 that they had eaten oysters a foot long. They said they were very palatable and fully as good as the English variety. An early writer states he had seen oysters thirteen inches in length in Virginia, where in 1609 many of the famished settlers found in the oyster banks a means of preserving life.
