A soldier tells a woman that a lieutenant in this conflict was killed by a snake after he heeds her letter and refuses to take cover. During this conflict, a character who does not learn from the Byron line “that tempted Fate will leave the loftiest star,” is confronted by the “formidable enemy” of a rabbit. A man notes the gray eyes of marksmen in a story set during this war from the collection (*) Tales of Soldiers and Civilians. A deaf-mute child sees a group of crawling, wounded soldiers who fought in this conflict before finding his house on fire in one story. A piece of driftwood floating sluggishly down the title body of water catches the eye of Peyton Farquhar immediately before his hanging in a story set during this conflict. For 10 points, name this war during which Ambrose Bierce set “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” and “Chickamauga.” ■END■
