FOOTNOTES: [1] The "Pilgrims" are often confused with the "Puritans," and the words are used interchangeably. Strictly speaking, the former were the English Independents or Congregationalists who came from Holland to Plymouth in 1620; the latter, the immigrants from England to Massachusetts Bay in 1629 and following years, some of whom, at the time of their arrival in New England, retained nominal connection with the Church of England. The church polity of the two parties, however, soon became the same. [2] Henry Sargent's "Landing of the Pilgrims," in Pilgrim Hall, Plymouth. [3] The landing at Plymouth was on Dec. 11, 1620, Old Style, corresponding to December 21 according to the present calendar, though December 22 is generally observed. [4] A plain eighteen miles northeast of Athens, between Mount Pentelicus and the sea, where, B. C. 490, 10,000 Greeks and 1,000 Platæans, under Miltiades, defeated 100,000 Persians, thereby destroying Darius's scheme for subjugating Greece. "The mountains look on Marathon, And Marathon looks on the sea; And musing there an hour alone, I dreamed that Greece might still be free." BYRON, _Don Juan_, canto iii, stanza 86, 3. [5] John Robinson, 1575-1625, an influential English Independent (or Congregational) minister, who left the Church of England and joined the "Separatists" in 1604, and was their pastor at Scrooby, England, removing to Amsterdam, Holland, in 1608, and continuing his leadership of Independents there and in Leyden. [6] Smithfield is a section of London, north of St. Paul's Cathedral, where alleged heretics were burned at the stake during the reign of Queen Mary, in 1555 and subsequent years. [7] The monument, erected by an association which aroused national as well as local interest and support, is a granite obelisk, two hundred and twenty-one feet high, actually standing on Breed's, not Bunker Hill. The two eminences are seven hundred yards apart, and both were scenes of conflict, the American redoubt being on Breed's; but general use has long sanctioned the expression "the battle of Bunker Hill." The monument was finished in 1842. [8] Jamestown, Virginia, on the James River, where the first permanent English settlement in the United States was made May 13, 1607.
