Synopsis
An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, by Ambrose Bierce, is a masterfully crafted short story that transports the reader to the heart of the American Civil War. Peyton Farquhar, a plantation owner, is captured by Union soldiers and sentenced to death by hanging. In his final moments, in a desperate attempt to escape, his mind wanders between reality and illusion. Will he manage to return to his beloved family?
