Peyton Farquhar is a fictional character from Ambrose Bierce's short story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge." He is portrayed as a Southern planter and a Confederate sympathizer who is deeply committed to the cause of the South during the Civil War. Farquhar is characterized by his strong idealism and naivety, believing he can play a significant role in the war despite lacking military training. His experience during his execution reveals the depths of his imagination and the fragility of human perception in the face of death.
