Excerpt from Old Plymouth Trails He who would see Plymouth and the Pilgrim land about it as the Pilgrims saw it may do so. Nature holds grimly onto her own and sedulously heals the scars that man makes. Beat to wind ward in the December twilight following that first trail Of the Pilgrim pinnace, listen to the sullen boom Of the breakers on the cliff, hear the growl Of the surf-mauled pebbles on Plymouth beach, feel the sting Of the freezing spray and the bitter grip Of the north wind and you shall find this first Pilgrim trail the same today as it was three hun dred years ago.

"All Plymouth is made up of the results of pilgrimage. How many scores of fathoms deep the real Plymouth shore lies I do not know. It is down there somewhere where it cooled into bathylithic crust back in the gray dawn of time when the earth was made. There it is part of the same ledge of which Scituate and Cohasset are built. All above that is terminal moraine, rock detritus piled upon rock foundation by the glacier. Plymouth Rock itself thus came joy riding from some ledge up Boston way, alighting from this first and greatest New England Transportation System only a few hundred thousand years before Mary Chilton arrived to set foot upon it."
