Ambrose Bierce was one of America’s most successful short story writers in the latter half of the 1800s and early 1900s. The Civil War veteran’s book The Devil’s Dictionary was named one of “The 100 Greatest Masterpieces of American Literature.”
In 1914, the 71-year-old went on a tour of Civil War battlefields before disappearing somewhere in the American southwest. Many theorize he was caught up in the Mexican Revolution, while others claim he committed suicide near the Grand Canyon. However, no proof has been found of either.
