Book Description

Excerpt from An Address Delivered at South Deerfield, August 31, 1838: On the Completion of the Bloody Brook Monument, Erected in Memory of Capt. Lothrop and His Associates, Who Fell at That Spot, September 18, (O. S.) 1675 It is not, however, distant antiquity alone, which produces this effect. When comparatively few years have intervened, even those few leave their impress on the scene. Two centuries and some years only have elapsed, since our fathers were shivering on 'the rock of Plymouth yet, what a feeling of increased veneration comes over the visiter, when, standing on that memorable spot, he turns his eye to the fore fathers' burying ground, where, for generations, has slept the last of the pilgrim band. It is a short antiquity, that lends enchantment to the View, inspiring a sen timent, breathed upon us by Deity's command, and not in vain nor thoughtlessly to be disturbed.
