520 _a"Border and Bastille" by George A. Lawrence is a historical narrative that likely reflects the tumult of the American Civil War, written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the author’s journey from England to the Confederate States, as he aims to serve in the war, gather firsthand accounts, and subsequently share those experiences with readers in England. The narrative hints at his strong pro-Southern sentiments and a desire to provide an honest accounting of the war from the Confederate perspective. At the start of the book, the author sets the scene of an arduous journey aboard a ship named "The Asia," battling harsh weather and discomfort as he travels across the Atlantic. He encounters a range of characters, including an American fellow passenger and various shiphands, while reflecting on the more extensive implications of the war he is about to enter. Lawrence’s vivid descriptions of his journey—marked by gloomy weather, tumultuous seas, and encounters with intriguing personalities—serve to establish an atmosphere of uncertainty and anticipation as he embarks on a path that will immerse him in one of the most consequential conflicts in American history.
