Best Answer

John Wayne in the character of Tom Donovan, used the word "pilgrim" when talking to Ransom Stoddard (played by Jimmy Stewart) in the movie "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance". He called Stoddard "pilgrim", because Stoddard was coming out west to settle in the new territories that had not yet become states in much the same way as the original Pilgrims came to this country.

In the film The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance , the character played by John Wayne referred to the Jimmy Stewart character as "Pilgrim" as somewhat of a perjorative, emphasizing the latter's naivete about how morality in the frontier operates.

_The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance_ was the first film in which he used this term. Impressionists such as Rich Little used the word in their routines, and it soon became identified with Wayne.
