E-text prepared by Martin Robb "Both Sides the Border: A Tale of Hotspur and Glendower" by G. A. Henty is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set during the tumultuous years of the early 15th century, focusing on the conflict between the English and the Scots, particularly through the experiences of young Oswald Forster and his family, who are involved in the ongoing border skirmishes and feuds. This work likely covers themes of war, loyalty, and the complexities of familial and national identities. The opening of the novel introduces us to Oswald Forster, a sixteen-year-old boy living in a fortified home on the strategic borderland of England and Scotland. As Oswald eagerly watches from a turret for the return of his father and his companions, who have gone on a cattle raid against the Scottish Bairds, we learn about the constant state of tension and skirmishing in the border region. This setting establishes a backdrop of violence and conflict, as Oswald reflects on feuds that have defined his family’s history. The events illustrate both the dangers of border life and the relationships that intertwine English and Scottish families, suggesting a rich narrative of adventure, rivalry, and the search for honor amidst chaos.
