This early work is Ambrose Bierce’s 1891 collection of short stories, “In The Midst Of Life: Tales of Soldiers and Civilians”. It contains twenty-six stories that describe the lives of soldiers and ordinary people during the American Revolutionary War. This collection also includes his most famous story, “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge”. Contents include: “The Suitable Surroundings”, “The Night”, “The Day Before”, “The Day After”, “Soldiers”, “A Horseman in the Sky”, “Chickamauga”, “A Son of the Gods”, “One of the Missing”, “Killed at Resaca”, “The Affair at Coulter’s Notch”, “A Tough Tussle”, etc. Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce (1842–1914) was an American journalist, satirist, and writer of short stories. Many classic books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
