Ambrose Bierce's An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge
Description
The Civil War. A nation torn apart. A war fought in great battles, and a war fought on a much smaller scale...within the minds and hearts of a nation's young men. On a lonely bridge, a group of soldiers prepare for the somber task of hanging one of their countrymen, now an enemy, for sabotage. This classic retelling of Ambrose Bierce's acclaimed story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," from Tales of Soldiers and Civilians, begins on an isolated span and then transforms into a far-ranging journey through the mind and dreams of a man facing death.
