The Prisoner of the Border: A Tale of 1838 is a historical novel written by P. Hamilton Myers and originally published in 1857. The story is set in the year 1838 and is based on true events that took place during the border conflicts between the United States and Canada. The protagonist of the story is an American soldier named Frank, who is captured by the British during a skirmish near the border. Frank is taken prisoner and sent to a British prison camp in Canada, where he is subjected to harsh conditions and mistreatment. The story follows Frank's struggles to survive in the prison camp, his attempts to escape, and his eventual release. Along the way, he meets a number of other prisoners, including a group of Native Americans who have also been captured by the British. The novel provides a vivid depiction of the harsh realities of war and the toll it takes on those caught in the middle. It also explores themes of patriotism, loyalty, and the human spirit's resilience in the face of adversity. Overall, The Prisoner of the Border is a gripping historical novel that offers a fascinating glimpse into a little-known chapter in American and Canadian history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
