A breezy day and a sunny landscape. An open countryto right and left and forward; behind, a wood. In theedge of this wood, facing the open but not venturinginto it, long lines of troops halted. The wood is alivewith them, and full of confused noises: the occasionalrattle of wheels as a battery of artillery goes intoposition to cover the advance; the hum and murmur ofthe soldiers talking; a sound of innumerable feet in thedry leaves that strew the interspaces among the trees;hoarse commands of officers. Detached groups ofhorsemen are well in front-not altogether exposed-many of them intently regarding the crest of a hill amile away in the direction of the interrupted advance.For this powerful army, moving in battle order througha forest, has met with a formidable obstacle-the opencountry. The crest of that gentle hill a mile away has asinister look; it says, Beware! Along it runs a stone wallextending to left and right a great distance. Behind thewall is a hedge; behind the hedge are seen the tops oftrees in rather straggling order. Among the trees-what? It is necessary to know.

Excerpt from A Son of the Gods: And a Horseman in the Sky Brilliant and magnetic as are these two studies by Ambrose Bierce, and especially significant as coming from one who was a boysoldier in the Civil War, they merely reflect one side of his original and many-faceted genius. Poet, critic, satirist, fan-maker, incomparable writer of fables and masterly prose sketches, a seer of startling insight, a reasoner mercilessly logical, with the delicate wit and keenness of an Irving or an Addison, the dramatic quality of a Hugo, - all of these, and still in the prime of his powers; yet so restricted has been his output and so little exploited that only the judicious few have been impressed. Although an American, he formed his bent years ago in London, where he was associated with the younger Hood on Fun.
