"The Bravest of the Brave — or, with Peterborough in Spain" by G. A. Henty is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the Earl of Peterborough and his military exploits during the War of the Spanish Succession, particularly focusing on the character of Jack Stilwell, a young man thrust into the life of a soldier due to societal pressures and circumstances beyond his control. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the mayor of Southampton, Richard Anthony, who is furious with his daughter Alice for associating with Jack Stilwell, her cousin and the son of a disinherited clergyman. The narrative unfolds as Jack is unjustly pressed into military service, leading to a series of personal conflicts and broader historical events tied to the ongoing war efforts in Spain. His struggles with authority, relationships, and the harsh realities of military life begin to form the central themes of bravery, duty, and the quest for a better life.
