Project Gutenberg 2010-05-28 Public domain in the USA. 78 Mitford, Bertram 1855 1914 A Frontier Mystery Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England "A Frontier Mystery" by Bertram Mitford is a novel written in the late 19th century." The story is set against the backdrop of the tumultuous relationships between the Zulu people and European settlers in South Africa, centering around a trader named Godfrey Glanton. As the plot unfolds, tensions arise from misunderstandings and conflicts between these groups, particularly as Glanton navigates the complexities of cross-cultural interactions and the challenges posed by the characters around him. "At the start of the novel, we are introduced to a fierce confrontation between two groups of young Zulus, escalating into a violent fight that draws involvement from a white man who intervenes to save a wounded youth." This altercation sets the stage for exploring the dynamic tensions between the English settlers and the Zulu warriors, highlighting the cultural misunderstandings that pervade their interactions. Following this incident, Glanton’s perspective offers insight into the challenges of maintaining peace and building relationships in a land rife with conflict. As he engages with both his Zulu friends and British settlers, the opening pages hint at deeper themes of identity, diplomacy, and the underlying violence that threatens to disrupt fragile alliances.
