Excerpt from On Plymouth RockThere are some things which the young people of this country should know by heart. Foremost among them is the simple, yet noble, story of the Pilgrim Fathers. How much this story transcends all others was lately emphasized by the high honors paid to the ancient manuscript history of Plymouth Colony, written by Governor Bradford, upon its return to its rightful owners, in this country. Nobody can read it without being deeply moved. It takes us back, along the deep-flowing river of time, to the very fountain-head of our national life. It is a story to be proud of. Not to the book alone, but to the grand heroism it tells us of, the sterling character it reveals, were these high honors paid. To the faint-hearted there is a strengthening power in its pages. To the strong it is a splendid example of serene fortitude, of high resolve.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
