Tales of soldiers and civilians by Ambrose Bierce - 2009-10-27

The Kent State University Press, 2004. Really two books in one. Bierce was the only real writer who actually served in battle on the Union side in the civil war and many of the soldier stories are an eye-witness account of what the Civil War battlefields were like. The civilian tales are pioneering efforts in science fiction and horror. Trade paperback 6x9" 222 pages. Binding tight, pages clean, very little wear.
