Synopsis

Excerpt from In New England

But long before Plymouth is reached, the pilgrim's attention is likely to be diverted from the great beauty Of the bay and its hilly, monument-crowned shores by his extreme desire to get an early glimpse of the Rock.

All the strangers are simply straining their eyes to see the Rock; and whenthe landing is made on the long wharf, the procession Of people from distant parts takes up a steady and rapid march toward a curious canopied structure in the distance, which has been pointed out to them.

The first thought which all of them have is this Why is the rock so far from the water? It seems to be distinctly inland, and is really at several rods' distance from the present shore. And yet there is no doubt that it was formerly by the water's edge. The building of wharves and the dumping Of earth for nearly three hundred years has carried the shore line out into the harbor.
