book recommendation



Civil War Stories
by Ambrose Bierce

I actually recommended this back in March, 2001. I was looking through my referrer logs to see where people might be coming to this site from and found this: Bierce Works Online. I was surprised. I didn't see any link to my blog. I'm a big fan of Ambrose Bierce. The Bierce Works Online had links to Bierce's works online. (Duh!) I clicked on the top one and it linked to a page of mine. I had forgotten that I had put one of his stories up. The story is from Civil War Stories and is titled The Affair at Coulter’s Notch. Check it out. It's typical of The stories in this little book. An Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge is also in the book for you serious film fans. These stories are not to be missed. It was $1.35 in 2001. It's gone up to $1.50. Go for it. Be extravagant.
