    About this ebook

    Ambrose Bierce’s “Chickamauga” describes the 1863 Civil War battle in Northern Georgia known for bitter fighting and heavy casualties. A child stumbles onto the battlefield and witnesses the horror of heavily wounded combatants retreating and staggering to their death. Dreamlike and surreal, the story contrasts the innocence of the child with the terrible realities of war. As with many Bierce stories, a profound and surprising flourish brings the story to a conclusion.

      (1891) This is an attempt by Bierce to depict the horror of the aftermath of the Battle of Chickamauga (1863)- a significant Union defeat, and a bloodbath. To do this, he describes the perspective of an uncomprehending toddler who comes upon the retreat by chance. It really didn't work for me - I found it too over-the-top and contrived.
