Ambrose Bierce was an American editorialist, journalist, short-story writer and satirist.
Ambrose Bierce in In High Places
Jacob Klein found Ambrose Bierce's The Devil's Dictionary a very useful and insightful work, and particularly enjoyed Bierce's biting sense of humor. When his daughter, Annette, was taken into slavery along with Jacques, she found some wisdom in Bierce's cynicism, even bonding with Jacques while sharing Bierce's words (although Jacques was leery of anything called The Devil's Wordbook).
Ambrose Bierce in Atlantis
Ambrose Bierce (b.1842) was an Atlantean writer and satirist. Athelstan Helms found Bierce's writings to be unusually wise for an Atlantean.
