| Summary | "Gibraltar" by Henry M. Field is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work offers a detailed exploration of Gibraltar, focusing on its unique geographic and strategic importance, as well as its rich history that involves various sieges and battles. The narrative likely delves into both the natural beauty of the region and the human stories that unfold within this iconic fortress. The opening of the narrative introduces readers to Gibraltar during the last day of 1886, as the author arrives and reflects on the stunning landscape and the storied past that surrounds the Rock. Field describes his journey into Gibraltar, noting the striking proximity of Europe and Africa across the Straits and emphasizing the historical significance of the location. He sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Gibraltar’s fortifications, its cultural fabric, and the dramatic events that shaped its history, including past conflicts between the Spaniards and Moors.
