English Stronghand; or, The Noble Revenge Produced by Camille Bernard & Marc D'Hooghe (Images generously made available by the Bodleian Libraries, Oxford) "Stronghand; or, The Noble Revenge" by Gustave Aimard is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story unfolds against the backdrop of the Western American frontier, delving into themes of bravery, honor, and the harsh realities of life in the wild. The narrative begins with a solitary Mexican horseman—destined to become an important character—who bravely traverses a desolate savanna and soon finds himself embroiled in a conflict to rescue a young girl from a pair of bandits, illustrating the dangers and moral complexities of frontier life. The opening of the novel introduces us to a bleak and dangerous desert terrain, setting up an atmosphere ripe for conflict. The nameless horseman, whose striking appearance suggests a man of strength and valor, becomes acutely aware of the dangers lurking in the shadows. After spotting bandits pursuing a young girl, he leaps into action, saving her from a dire fate. This encounter leads to a series of events where he teams up with Don Ruiz, the girl's brother, who is desperately searching for her after their family has been attacked. As the two form an alliance, they confront their own fears and the threat posed by the bandits, foreshadowing larger conflicts and themes of justice that will unfold throughout the novel.
