The authors aim to highlight the rich tapestry of memories and stories that define the Border, engaging readers with tales of battles, folklore, and the picturesque scenery. At the start of the book, the preface indicates that the work stems from a collaborative endeavor, with John Lang reflecting on his late brother's intent to capture the essence of the Border region.
