An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge by Ambrose Bierce The man who was engaged in being hanged was apparently about thirty-five years of age. He was a civilian, if one might judge from his habit, which was that of a planter. His features were gooda straight nose, firm mouth, broad forehead, from which his long, dark hair was combed straight back, falling behind his ears to the collar of his well-fitting frock coat. He wore a mustache and pointed beard, but no whiskers; his eyes were large and dark gray, and had a kindly expression which one would hardly have expected in one whose neck was in the hemp. Evidently this was no vulgar assassin. The liberal military code makes provision for hanging many kinds of persons, and gentlemen are not excluded. He unclosed his eyes and saw again the water below him. "If I could free my hands," he thought, "I might throw off the noose and spring into the stream. By diving I could evade the bullets and, swimming vigorously, reach the bank, take to the woods and get away home. My home, thank God, is as yet outside their lines; my wife and little ones are still beyond the invader's farthest advance." As these thoughts, which have here to be set down in words, were flashed into the doomed man's brain rather than evolved from it the captain nodded to the sergeant. The sergeant stepped aside.

Add to Favorites STOP ANNOYING POP-UPS with the FREE Alexa Toolbar (installs in seconds) Ambrose Bierce was one of nineteenth-century America's most renowned satirists. The author of short stories, essays, fables, poems, and sketches, he was a popular columnist and wrote for several San Francisco and London newspapers during his forty-year journalism career. Bierce's witty, sardonic definitions in The Devil's Dictionary were originally published in The Wasp, a weekly journal he edited in San Francisco from 1881 to 1886. As a compiled collection, these caustic aphorisms first appeared as The Cynic's Word Book in 1906, and was reissued in 1911 under the author's preferred title of The Devil's Dictionary Bierce's notorious collection of barbed definitions forcibly contradicts Samuel Johnson's earlier definition of a lexicographer as a harmless drudge . There was nothing harmless about Ambrose Bierce, and the words he shaped into verbal pitchforks a century ago are as sharp, amusing, and relevant today.

77. Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914) ambrose bierce (18421914). Contributing Editor Cathy N. Davidson. I have a long section on Chickamauga in my Experimental Fictions of ambrose bierce. http://www.georgetown.edu/faculty/bassr/heath/syllabuild/iguide/bierce.html

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914) Contributing Editor: Cathy N. Davidson Classroom Issues and Strategies Two primary issues present themselves in teaching "Chickamauga." First the details are grotesque. The procession of bloody, dying men and the macabre humor of the small child mounting one as he would a pony (or his father's slaves "playing horsey") often disturbs students very much. This, of course, is exactly Bierce's intention. Second, the ending seems like a gratuitous trick. Is it necessary that the child be deaf and dumb? Realistically, this is necessary since the child does not hear the great battlewe are told so explicitly. But it's also important symbolically: the temptation to war is so great in male culture that even this small child learns it, even though there is so much he does not understand. To address these issues, first I read some conventional war accounts and war storiesor even the lyrics to war songs. I then read aloud the most grotesque parts of Bierce. I next ask my students which is, in its consequence, the more violent. We then discuss protest literature and Bierce's disgust that several prominent generals of the Civil War were rewriting the incomparably brutal history of that war. Second, we go through the story isolating how the child learns, what he knows and doesn't. The picture book lesson at the beginning makes the point that a child is already learning values at the earliest age, prelinguistically. These are powerful messages, calls to violence.

VIRGO EAF Author: Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?) Works in the Collection Manuscript Materials Other Resources Ambrose Bierce was born in Ohio in 1842. His service in the Civil War provided the basis for many of his writings, such as the well-known "An Occurance at Owl Creek Bridge." Bierce's war experiences also left him deeply disillusioned, and much of his career as a writer, journalist, and editor was marked by a strong cynicism. The most famous product of this was The Cynic's Word Book , first published in 1906, but now better known by its later title, The Devil's Dictionary . In 1913, Bierce set off for Mexico to find Pancho Villa, and was last seen in December of that year. It is not known exactly when or where he died.
