Burial Hill, Plymouth, Massachusetts

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The burying-ground of Plymouth is, of course, a place of great interest to the citizens of the town and visitors from other places feel a sad pleasure in wandering among the tombs of past generations. A few of these tombs contain remains of the original adventurers; many are occupied by the bodies of their immediate descendants who were imbued with the Pilgrim spirit — worldly enter prise controlled and sanctified by fervid religious faith.
