Ambrose Bierce didn't just write about the Civil War, he lived through it--on the front lines, across the battlefields, and over the graves--and in so doing gave birth to a literary chronicle of men at war previously unseen in the American literary canon.
The fact that some of these stories verge on the supernatural, others on factual reporting, and others on the fine line between humor and morbidity in no way detracts from their resonance to both the history of the war between the states and the imaginative historical literature of America begun by Washington Irving.
Shadows of Blue & Gray collects all of Bierce's Civil War stories and also includes six excerpts from his memoirs recalling his experiences on the front lines.
