Echoes of the Civil War still haunt the American landscape. In "Great American Ghost Stories", Bill Bowers unearths a collection of spine-tingling tales from the era's darkest corners. From Ambrose Bierce's surreal battlefield visions to Edith Wharton's aristocratic hauntings, these stories confront the specters of a nation divided. With each page, the line between the living and the dead blurs, and the true horrors of the war rise from the grave.
