We have it on the authority of Strabo that they were used against the Gauls, and we have certain knowledge that they were employed not only in the frequent feuds of the Scottish clans, and in the continuous border forays of those days, but also during the ever-recurring hostilities between England and Scotland.
But there were other equally exciting experiences ahead of them in the near future, in which the Border Bandits would play an active part.

The boys realized that they had taken a rather active part in what might prove for them a serious affair.
Cochran, and such reckless spirits, were for retaliating with fire and bullet on the New York border. Nevertheless Warner and other more moderate men counseled forbearance. "We overawed the sheriff's army last year, it is true. But at that time we had given the people of New York no reasonable excuse for attacking us," declared Warner.
He angrily thrust the wet little package of matches back into the inside pocket of his coat his border training in economy had become so strong that even in the moment of despair he would throw away nothing and his hand in the pocket came into contact with something else, small, hard, and polished.

Leopold, dying at the age of seventy-six, was succeeded by his son as Leopold II., and his reign continued during the remainder of the century. The treaty of 1839, in addition to its provisions already mentioned, gave Limburg, on the Prussian border, to the Dutch, and opened the Scheldt under heavy tolls.

It so happens you are the one to help me an' Wetzel rid the border of these hell-hounds, an' you won't fail. I know a woman when it comes to that." "I I help you and Wetzel?" "Exactly." "Gracious!" cried Helen, half-laughing, half-crying.
