Ambrose Bierce (1842 1914) was a short story writer, an editorialist, a satirist and a journalist. He is best known for his Devils Dictionary. His sardonic view of human nature and his tough stance as a critic earned him the nickname "Bitter Bierce". Despite his reputation Bierce always encouraged young writers. Bierce went to Mexico to get a first hand view of the revolution. He disappeared without a trace.
