Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914) was an American journalist, newspaper columnist, critic, satirist, and author. After serving in the Civil War, he built a prominent writing career in San Francisco journalism, especially with the San Francisco Examiner, while also producing poetry, essays, and fiction. He is best known for The Devil’s Dictionary, sharply satirical prose, psychologically intense Civil War stories, and supernatural and weird tales such as “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” and “An Inhabitant of Carcosa.”
