Questing after Pancho Villa's revolutionary forces, Ambose Bierce rode into Mexico in 1913 & vanished off the face of the earth. Though his ultimate fate remains a mystery to this day, Bierce's contribution to American letters rests firmly on the basis of his incomparable <i>Devil's Dictionary</i> & a remarkable body of short fiction. This new collection gathers some three dozen of Bierce's finest stories, including the celebrated Civil War fictions "An Occurrence at Owl Creek" & "Chickamauga," his macabre masterpieces "The Damned Thing" & "Moxon's Master," & his hilariously horrific "Oil of Dog" & "My Favorite Murder." Tom Quirk, the volume's editor, provides a fascinating introductory essay, as well as indispensable explanatory notes, a glossary of military terms & a catalog of Civil War battle sites & leaders. 57798 1909 Tales of Soldiers and Civilians & Other Stories total:35|5:12|4:16|3:7|2:0|1:0| 35 145 65 6 3 0 false false Sun Jul 05 16:45:22 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 05 17:25:20 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Jul 13 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 05 10:29:13 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 17 07:15:17 -0700 2008
