Answer:
Bierce chooses to narrate A Horseman in the Sky through a third person omniscient point of view. In the story, this perspective often focuses on Carter. Since the narrator is omniscient, we are also able to watch the events through the eyes of other characters. After the fateful gunshot, the point of view shifts to two other soldiers One soldier witnesses the horse and Confederate soldier fall off the cliff and seemingly fly through the air. The other soldier hears Druse's gunshot and interviews him about what happened. The perspective graphically notes the horror of Druse's experience with the lines, ''Carter Druse grew pale; he shook in every limb, turned faint, and saw the statuesque group before him as black figures, rising, falling, moving unsteadily in arcs of circles in a fiery sky. His hand fell away from his weapon, his head slowly dropped until his face rested on the leaves in which he lay.''Since the narrator is able to see inside the character's head, the reader can experience this scene with the character. Although Druse may be somewhat in shock, he does not indicate who the Confederate soldier is until the end of the story when a superior officer directly asks him. Thus, the perspective provides the reader with insight into the character's experience before revealing the true depth of his choice.
