Description
The Pilgrim Story by Paul W. Bittinger is a concise yet compelling account of the courageous journey and spiritual conviction of the early Pilgrims who crossed the Atlantic aboard the Mayflower. Originally published in 1940 and revised in multiple editions through 1958, this historical booklet offers an accessible and engaging retelling of the founding of Plymouth Colony. Bittinger, a local historian from Plymouth, Massachusetts, wrote this piece with both reverence and clarity, making it an ideal companion for educators, history enthusiasts, and collectors of Americana.
This vintage sixth edition, published in April 1958 and protected in an archival sleeve, preserves the original charm of mid-century educational printing. The detailed cover illustration evokes the drama and faith of the Pilgrims’ landing, capturing a moment of historical significance with emotional resonance. A staple in historical souvenir collections and early American history curricula, The Pilgrim Story is more than a retelling—it is a tribute to enduring values of freedom, faith, and perseverance.
Whether you're building a heritage-themed library or seeking unique collectible materials, this booklet stands as a historical gem at a time when primary-source-style storytelling was valued in American homes and classrooms.
