Welcome Atheism Biographies > Ambrose Gwinett Bierce Ambrose Gwinett Bierce Biography of Ambrose Gwinett Bierce : American journalist, writer, satirical humorist, essayist, poet and novelist. Ambrose Gwinett Bierce is very impressed by the American Civil War during which he distinguishes himself in the ranks of the Union. Then, he contributes to the News Letter of San Francisco before settling, in 1872, for four years, in London. There, he works as newspaper columnist for the humor magazine "Fun". With a lot of black humor and a caustic style, Ambrose Gwinett Bierce tackles the established and reasonable values and the religion too. His macabre tales and his satirist and terrifying fables keep the marks of his real-life experience during the Civil War. He describes the fights of this one with a very strong realism, almost unbearable. Ambrose Gwinett Bierce is a friend and a rival of Mark Twain. He is an avant-garde novelist in the United States. Attracted by the Mexican revolution, he gets involved, at the age of seventy-one, by the side of Pancho Villa, but he mysteriously disappears during a battle in 1914.

What Occurred at Franklin by Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914) For several days, in snow and rain, General Schofield's little army had crouched in its hastily constructed defenses at Columbia, Tennessee. It had retreated in hot haste from Pulaski, thirty miles to the south, arriving just in time to foil Hood, who, marching from Florence, Alabama, by another road, with a force of more than double our strength, had hoped to intercept us. Had he succeeded, he would indubitably have bagged the whole bunch of us. As it was, he simply took position in front of us and gave us plenty of employment, but did not attack; he knew a trick worth two of that. Duck River was directly in our rear; I suppose both our flanks rested on it. The town was between them. One nightthat of November 27, 1864we pulled up stakes and crossed to the north bank to continue our retreat to Nashville, where Thomas and safety laysuch safety as is known in war. It was high time too, for before noon of the next day Forrest's cavalry forded the river a few miles above us and began pushing back our own horse toward Spring Hill, ten miles in our rear, on our only road. Why our infantry was not immediately put in motion toward the threatened point, so vital to our safety, General Schofield could have told better than I. Howbeit, we lay there inactive all day. The next morninga bright and beautiful onethe brigade of Colonel P. Sidney Post was thrown out, up the river four or five miles, to see what it could see. What it saw was Hood's head-of-column coming over on a pontoon bridge, and a right pretty spectacle it would have been to one whom it did not concern. It concerned us rather keenly.
