Civil War Stories Author Info: Ambrose Bierce Ambrose Bierce is as famous for the circumstances surrounding the end of his life as for his bitter fatalistic prose. Bierce was a journalist/author and a Civil War veteran. In 1913, after the breakup of his marriage and the death of his sons, he set out for Mexico to meet Pancho Villa and observe the Mexican Revolution at first hand. He wrote to a friend: Goodbye, if you hear of my being stood up against a Mexican stone wall and shot to rags, please know that I think it a pretty good way to depart this life. It beats old age, disease, or falling down the cellar stairs. To be a Gringo in Mexicoah, that is euthanasia! With that, he disappeared into Mexico and was never heard from again, fueling wild speculation about his fate (i.e., Carols Fuentes' novel The Old Gringo ). A fitting end for an author whose works combined a bleak view of life with elements of mystery. Bierce's Civil War stories are bleak little tales of death and destruction. There's one here that nicely captures his cynical world viewmost of us saw a film version of it in grade school

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?) Few writers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries have managed to remain as enigmatic as Ambrose Bierce. He fought on the Yankee side in the Civil War, and clearly this was a turning point in his life; after the war Bierce refused to accept some back pay the army owed him, apparently considering it blood money. He became a journalist, working primarily in San Francisco and Washington, DC, and was considered one of the most urbane and literate men of his time. He was also known for his bitterly cynical humor, reflected in The Devil’s Dictionary . In the first decade of the twentieth century he divorced his wealthy wife and entirely cut himself off from his family; in 1913 he went to Mexico and subsequently disappeared. He is presumed to have died there in 1914, but no one really knows for sure, because he was never heard from again. The most salient characteristic of Bierce’s short stories is their irony. Life is never what it seems, Bierce warns, and Fate always has the last laugh.

Library Modern Documents John Patrick Michael Murphy : Ambrose Bierce (1999) Murphy's Law: Ambrose Bierce (1999) by John Patrick Michael Murphy Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?) was one of the foremost writers of the 19th - century. His stories of war, of despair, of horror, of the mysterious, were epoch defining and continue to influence literature. For his wit he was called the Mark Twain of the North. He was the chum of Jack London and the mentor of H. L. Mencken . The very first tract he wrote was a defense of atheism and freethought, a theme he would never leave. His meager childhood was brightened, and he was ultimately empowered by his father, who gave him the love of history and literature. At 19 he enlisted, and was seared by his experiences in the Civil War, where he served with distinction. Afterwards, he wrote over a thousand columns for various newspapers. William Randolph Hearst secured him as soon as he acquired the San Francisco Examiner . There he stayed for over 20 years. All the while Bierce wrote war stories, horror stories, novels, and short stories of the mysterious and the macabre. Apparently he wrote because he had to, to get it out, to deal with it, to survive the impact of the Civil War on his life — he had to tell of the headless corpses, the boar-eaten bodies of the fallen men, the blood, the screams. Bierce wrote of the insanity to keep depression from taking him. He challenged his country to become civilized enough to admit its hypocrisies, pretensions and its crassness.

A proponent of the d o c t r i n e that black is white." ~ Ambrose Bierce Born on this day in Meigs County, Ohio, journalist Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce (1842-1914) was the 10th of 13 children and is best known for writing The Devil's Dictionary (1906), a collection of satirical and perceptive aphorisms such as: LOVE : a temporary insanity, curable by marriage." Or, "KILL v.t.: To create a vacancy without nominating a successor." And better, still, " KISS , n. A word invented by the poets as a rhyme for "bliss." His cynical humor and powerful short stories, born from his experiences as a Union officer in the American Civil War, have been described as having a "Northern Mark Twain " style. Of Bierce's famous war tale, An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge (1890), writer Stephen Crane said, "Nothing better existsthe story has everything." In 1887, Bierce joined William Randolph Hearst's San Francisco Examiner as a columnist. Known for his macabre sense of humor, he kept a skull on his desk and claimed it belonged to a rival critic. "Death is not the end," wrote the man nicknamed "Bitter Bierce" and "Acid Pen," "there remains litigation over the estate."
