 Civil War Stories
Ambrose Bierce was a short-story writer, poet, and satarist. He participated in some of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War and disapeared in Mexico in 1914 during the Mexican Civil War. His stories on the Civil War capture the reality of war. It should be required reading in every school. "An Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge" is in this collection. It was made into a short movie that played the art house circut in the early 70s. I put one of the stories on a web page: "The Affair at Coulter's Notch". Read it. The book itself is only $1.35 at Amazon. Buy it. |
