Who Was Ambrose Bierce?
What is a biography of Ambrose Bierce?
Ambrose Bierce was an American writer, journalist and printer, perhaps most famous for "The Devil's Dictionary," a concentrated dose of satiric cynicism. Associated in later life with the California literary scene, he disappeared in mysterious circumstances in the early years of the twentieth century.
