The fact that some of these stories verged 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 in the tradition of Washington Irving. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eShadows of Blue \u0026amp; Gray\u003c\/i\u003e collects all of Bierce's Civil War stories (twenty-seven in total) with six of his memoir pieces on his own experiences on the front lines. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis collection includes such classics as \"An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge,\" \"A Horseman in the Sky,\" \"Parker Addison, Philosopher\", and \"A Bivouac of the Dead\"; as well as lesser known stories and sketches such as \"The Mockingbird\" and \"Two Military Executions\" and memoirs of his experiences at Shiloh, Chickamauga, and Franklin.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAmbrose Bierce\u003c\/b\u003e was one of the leading men of letters in 19th-century America.
