Beschreibung
Ambrose Bierce was an American newspaperman, satirist, and short story writer. He disappeared in Mexico in 1914 and his final fate is unknown.Synopsis Ambrose Bierce was born on June 24, 1842 in Meigs county, Ohio. He worked as a printers apprentice and enlisted to fight in the Civil War. After the war he worked as an editor, journalist, and short story writer; capturing his war experiences in vivid detail. In 1913 he went to Mexico, then in the midst of a revolution led by Pancho Villa. He disappeared sometime in 1914In 1877 he became associate editor of the San Francisco Argonaut but left it in 187980 for an unsuccessful try at placer mining in Rockerville in the Dakota Territory. Thereafter he was editor of the San Francisco Illustrated Wasp for five years. In 1887 he joined the staff of William Randolph Hearst's San Francisco Examiner, for which he wrote the ';Prattler' column. In 1896 Bierce moved to Washington, D.C., where he continued newspaper and magazine writing. In 1913, tired of American life, he went to Mexico, then in the middle of a revolution led by Pancho Villa. His end is a mystery, but a reasonable conjecture is that he was killed in the siege of Ojinaga in January 1914.This collection includes the following:I. IntroductionII. The Fiend's DelightIII.
