About this ebook

One of 19th century America’s most lauded authors gives his perspective on the Civil War. Ambrose Bierce views the war from the perspective of both active participants and civilians, often questioning the very notion of heroism in battle.

From the haunting suspense of »An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge,« where a condemned man’s escape takes on surreal dimensions, to the grim reality of »Chickamauga,« where a child's innocence clashes with the brutality of war, each story is a testament to Ambrose Bierce's mastery of psychological depth and narrative intensity.


AMBROSE BIERCE [1842-1914] was an American author, journalist, and war veteran. He was one of the most influential journalists in the United States in the late 19th century and alongside his success as a horror writer he was hailed as a pioneer of realism. Among his most famous works are The Devil's Dictionary and the short story »An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge.«
