Note:
Ambrose Bierce was born in Horse Cave Creek, Ohio, on June 24, 1842. After military service in the Civil War, he settled in
San Francisco, where he met Mark Twain and became a columnist and writer. Bierce became known for his sharp, sarcastic wit
while writing for the "Argonaut," the "Wasp," and the "San Francisco Examiner." A member of the Bohemian Club, he became acquainted
with many of the prominent San Francisco authors. After his retirement Bierce traveled into Texas and toward Mexico, at a
time when Pancho Villa and other Mexican revolutionaries were active. After a final correspondence dated December 26, 1913,
nothing is known of Bierce's fate.
