Tales of Soldiers and Civilians: And Other Stories
Categories: Literature & Fiction
Edited by Tom Quirk, this collection gathers thirty-four stories by Ambrose Bierce, a Union veteran of some of the Civil War's bloodiest battles. The war stories include An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, Chickamauga and A Horseman in the Sky. The collection adds his tales of the supernatural, such as The Damned Thing and Moxon's Master, and darkly comic pieces like Oil of Dog and My Favorite Murder. Notes, a military glossary and material on the battle sites support the text.
