Excerpt from The Illustrated Pilgrim Memorial, 1878 It was this company, in all eighteen men, who, on Friday evening, were cast, as it were, upon Clark's Island, where they remained to pass the Sabbath, and, embarking again on Monday, stepped ashore upon a huge boulder of granite (the Rock of Plymouth), making that celebrated Land ing' which was destined to be the birth of a nation.perpetuated to generations yet unborn, and that the Anglo Saxon race, to which we alike belong, may rise to that high and holy destiny which the God of Nations seems to have appointed for them as the conservatives of the peace and liberties of the world, is our ardently cherished wish, and will continue to be our earnest prayer.
