An Old Man Taught Wisdom: “A good countenance is a letter of recommendation” Henry Fielding
Noveller
Bierce’s Civil War tale “Killed At Resaca” describes a reckless but gallant Union officer known for facing the hottest fire of any battle upright and in full uniform. His fellow soldiers wonder at his casual disregard for his own life and safety. When he is finally killed after a demonstration of pure bravery, Confederate and Union soldiers alike carry his body off the field. The answer to his mysterious behavior is a classic Bierce-ian twist.
