Ambrose Bierce  

Définition(s)

  • Soldier, Journalist, and Author Amid the firsthand accounts of the Civil War that flooded the market in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the writings of Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce spoke in a distinctive, often cynical voice that reflected the carnage and horror of battle. Although Bierce earned 15 commendations for his service as a Union soldier, he defined valor as “a soldierly compound of vanity, duty, and the gambler's hope.” Bierce was born in Meigs County, Ohio, on June 24, 1842, the son of a poor farming family, the 10th of 13 children, all of whom received names beginning with the letter “A.” The family moved frequently, eventually settling in Indiana.
