In any event, even if the famed Plymouth Rock is the first footfall at
the Plymouth Colony, it certainly was not the place where the Pilgrim
travellers first set foot on New World soil. That, as another pointed
out, was at Provincetown.

I just knew there'd be someone to start ranting about St Augustine, or
Jamestown, or some other such thing. I was referring, Jim, -and I think
clearly-to the founders of the Plymouth Colony. Note above where I said
"...the place where the Pilgrim travellers first set foot...". Note that I
said "...*the* Pilgrim travellers...". I specifically did not say "...the
place where pilgrim travellers...", which would have implied a reference to
*any* New World settlers.
