The horrors of war, described in detail in the classic Red Badge of Courage, are painful and difficult to read, vet just as true today as they were hundreds of years ago. 

Stephen Crane was a late-nineteenth-century American short story writer, novelist, poet, and journalist. His best-known novels are Maggie, A Girl of the Streets (1893), originally rejected by publishers because of Crane s sympathetic portrayal of the main character, and The Red Badge of Courage (1895), a Civil War story told so vividly that many veterans claimed participation in its fictional events. Some of Crane s stories include The Open Boat, The Blue Hotel," and The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky. This story was first published in 1895.
