[Old Yeller]

Tell you what, I’d never seen the rock before, it is pretty unimpressive. I guess I was thinking it was some big boulder they could spot from out at sea or something.

That's what I thought before I visited the site. I thought it would be Rock of Gibralter proportions. Not modest grave marker proportions.

It is a rock on a beach. Impossible to say just how the business of the Pilgrims landed on or near it ever started. I learned that story in Elementary School. I grew up not far from the site.

At some point, the rock was split, and later patched together, which I have always thought to be an odd fact.

Of course the Liberty Bell is also cracked. They fixed that long ago and it simply split again, so I read.

Peculiar symbolism exists in American History.
