VIRGO EAF Author: Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?) Works in the Collection Manuscript Materials Other Resources Ambrose Bierce was born in Ohio in 1842. His service in the Civil War provided the basis for many of his writings, such as the well-known "An Occurance at Owl Creek Bridge." Bierce's war experiences also left him deeply disillusioned, and much of his career as a writer, journalist, and editor was marked by a strong cynicism. The most famous product of this was The Cynic's Word Book , first published in 1906, but now better known by its later title, The Devil's Dictionary . In 1913, Bierce set off for Mexico to find Pancho Villa, and was last seen in December of that year. It is not known exactly when or where he died.

Ambrose Bierce Ambrose Gwinett Bierce was born in Ohio on June 24, 1842. There are few details of his early life and one of his first jobs was for a small abolitionist newspaper in Indiana. His family had a history of military service and his grandfather had fought in the American Revolution. At the outbreak of the Civil War he enlisted in the 9th Indiana volunteers. He worked mainly as an engineer and was present at Shiloh, Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge, and Kennesaw Mountain. He received a serious head wound at Kennesaw Mountain and was mustered out of the army as unfit for military service. Armchair psychiatrists theorize that the reason the 'Wild West' was wild in the late 1800’s was that large numbers of returning civil war veterans were suffering from what we now recognize as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). They no longer fit in at home and went west to find, or make, a place where they could find comfort. In any case, what Bierce had experienced during the war certainly had some profound effect on him and it seems reasonable to believe that this could be the source of his dark humor and deeply cynical nature. In 1867, Bierce got a job working at the US Mint in San Francisco and, later, after deciding on a career in journalism, worked for a local news paper. His “Town Crier” column was sort of a combined investigative journalism and gossip colomn and gained him much local fame. In later life he had a rocky relationship with his boss William Randolph Hearst while working at the San Francisco Examiner.

PAID ADVERTISEMENTS 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.
