Stephen Crane wrote this short story one year after his hugely popular "The Red Badge of Courage", which was a story about a young man named Henry Fleming, who experienced the horrors of war for the first time at Chancellorsville during the American Civil War and ran from it. Perhaps Crane wanted to give Henry Fleming a chance at redemption, because he brings him to life in this short story where Fleming is now an older man facing a terrifying barn fire which threatens his livestock.
