About this listen

A condemned man stands on the edge of a railroad bridge with a rope around his neck. The Union Army is preparing to hang him during a tumultuous period of the Civil War. His thoughts drift to that of his wife, his children, and his sacrifice for the great cause of the South.

But what if he is able to escape the hangman’s noose and make an escape downriver past the Union soldiers? What sort of thoughts and fantasies go through a man’s mind as he faces the gallows? Find out in one of the most popular and influential American short stories of all time, which includes a shocking ending.

This annotated edition of An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge includes:

  • Vocabulary builder for tricky words (great for children and folks improving their English skills).
  • Chapter-by-chapter summaries (excellent for students to help with their studies).
