On a quiet bridge in northern Alabama, Peyton Farquhar stands condemned to death. As Confederate soldiers prepare to execute him, his thoughts turn to his wife, his home, and the events that brought him to this final moment.
Ambrose Bierce’s An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge is a tightly constructed Civil War story renowned for its suspense, psychological intensity, and startling manipulation of time and perception. As Farquhar’s final moments unfold, reality and imagination become increasingly difficult to separate, leading to an unforgettable conclusion.
First published in 1890, Bierce’s story remains one of the most widely recognized works of American short fiction and a striking exploration of war, death, and the human mind.
