Summary "Harper's Round Table, November 17, 1896" by Various is a periodical publication featuring a collection of stories and articles written in the late 19th century. This particular issue includes a mix of narrative accounts, historical tales, and lighter content aimed at a younger audience. The opening piece notably recounts the tragic tale of the MacGregors in Scotland, illustrating a deep-seated feud and the harsh realities of life during that era. The beginning of this issue presents a detailed retelling of the "Battle of Glen Freon" involving the MacGregor clan. Two young brothers, peddlers by trade, encounter hostility in a Lowland village due to their clan's notorious reputation. As they struggle to find refuge from a snowstorm, they resort to foraging for food and firewood, which results in their capture and subsequent execution by local nobility, igniting clan tensions. The story unfolds with a mix of despair, familial loyalty, and the resulting retaliation by the MacGregors against their oppressors, setting the stage for a historical conflict deeply rooted in Scottish clan dynamics.
