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.
