This is a quick summary of An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge by Ambrose Bierce. This channel discusses and reviews books, novels, and short stories through drawing...poorly.

Transcript: This is a story about a man named Peyton Fahrquhar, a Southerner who is being hanged in Alabama by Union soldiers during the Civil War. Peyton is a private citizen who works the fields and lives with his wife and children on his plantation farm.

Peyton was captured trying to sabotage railroad construction by Union soldiers, a bold move that he thought could help the South.

Just as Peyton is about to be drop from the bridge with the noose around his neck, he thinks about his wife and children. Then, the soldiers remove the plank he is standing on and he drops quickly.

Just as he thinks he is about to die from the pain around his neck, he feels the rope break and lands in the stream below. Peyton struggles to escape the ropes and manages to swim downstream. The Union soldiers open fire on him, but he swims under the current of the stream to evade the bullets.

Eventually, he gets to the bank of the stream and runs into the forest. Because he lives about thirty miles away, he walks home.

He travels all night and eventually arrives home to his wife. Just as he is about to wrap his arms around her, he feels a sudden pain and everything blacks out.

In the end, Peyton had not escaped the hanging and actually died on the bridge.

Paper by Fifty Three was used to make this video.

Music: Hooky with Sloane from the Youtube Audio Library.

Literally took me about 30 mins to read that story plus it was hard to understand, extremely choppy and extra ass details that got in the way of the purpose of the story...so THANK YOU for this straight forward and quick summary!

Take 15 minutes and just read the story anyway. You'll get something out of it.
