The Letters of Ambrose Bierce, With a Memoir by George Sterling


Book Description

Ambrose Bierce could be described as the most famous prose writer you never heard of. He had grown up relatively uneducated on his father's farm, but with a vast stock of knowledge gained from reading. He served with distinction during the American Civil War, and was awarded the rank of Major, but he declined to be known by this title. His whole life seemed to be mysterious, but there is no doubting the skill and artistry of his writing.
