Overview

Stephen Crane (November 1, 1871 – June 5, 1900) was an American novelist, short story writer, poet and journalist who wrote prolifically in his short life, becoming one of the best writers in the genres of Realism and Naturalism.

Another Civil War work of his was The Little Regiment, a masterful work that has realistic battle sequences, vivid imagery, psychology, and a tone of irony.
