Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce, soldier, skeptic, satirist and self-styled shaman was born in 1842 in Ohio to Marcus Aurelius and Laura Sherwood Bierce, the tenth of their thirteen children, all with forenames starting with the letter “A”. He left home at age fifteen to become an apprentice at a small newspaper. Upon the commencement of the American Civil War, he enlisted in the Union Army's 9th Indiana Infantry Regiment. In July of 1861, Bierce received broadsheet attention for his daring rescue, under fire, of a gravely wounded comrade at the Battle of Rich Mountain. He’d also fought at the Battle of Shiloh in April of 1862, a dramatic and traumatic experience which was a source for several of his short stories. In June of 1864, he suffered a serious head wound at the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain, but would not be discharged until January of 1865.

Bierce married Mary Ellen ("Mollie") Day on Christmas Day 1871. They had three children; two sons, Day and Leigh and a daughter, Helen. Both of Bierce's sons died before him: Day because he was fatally wounded in a bar brawl and Leigh due to complications arising from alcoholism. In 1888, Bierce and Mollie separated after he discovered love letters to her from an admirer. They finally divorced in 1904 and Mollie passed away the following year. By that time, Bierce, who received the rank of Brevet Major upon his resignation from the Grand Army of the Republic, was a resident of San Francisco, California. From 1887 to 1906, he was a regular contributor, with a column called “Prattle”, to William Randolph Hearst's newspaper, the San Francisco Examiner.

Write It Right

Bierce, of course, is best known for his short story, An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge and his satirical lexicon, The Devil's Dictionary. With a scathing and scornful view of the human condition, shown by his slogan “nothing matters”, he was both a venomous critic and a vitriolic cynic. He would prove time and time again that the pen was indeed mightier than the sword, which is how he’d earned the well-deserved nickname “Bitter Bierce". Without a doubt about it, Bierce, who was rightly “considered a master by his contemporaries”, was legendary in his own lifetime. He wrote with a distinct economy of style; abrupt beginnings, dark imagery, impossible events, judicious wording, limited descriptions, vague references to time and, not surprisingly, war themes drawing heavily from his own experiences.
