Peyton Farquar: Tragic Hero In the story, “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” written by Ambrose Bierce, Peyton Farquar, a rich plantation owner at the time of the Civil War, is unfairly hanged for his crime of intending to burn down the Owl Creek Bridge. The story is about Farquar’s heroic escape and return to his family, only for you to find out it was just a dream and that he was actually dead.
