The Damned Thing is a story focuses on how the human race takes their views of
nature for granted, and how there may be things in the natural world that the
human eye cannot see or the human ear cannot hear.
An Occurrence at Owl takes place during the war of the 1860's between the
American states of the North and the states of the South. A group of soldiers
is hanging a Southern farm owner for trying to stop Northern military
movements across the Owl Creek Bridge. In the last moments of his life, the
Southern prisoner dreams he has escaped; and everything that happens in the
story is really only the work of the prisoner's brain just before he dies.
One of Bierce's most famous works is his much-quoted book, The Devil's
Dictionary, originally a newspaper serialization which was first published in
book form in 1906 as The Cynic's Word Book. It offers an interesting
reinterpretation of the English language in which cant and political double-
talk are neatly lampooned.
Chickamauga was first published in 1889. It's about an innocent child who
stumbles into unspeakable horror during the battle.
