Weteran wojny secesyjnej, który walczył pod Shiloh i Chickamauga w szeregach Unii, Bierce stał się jednym z najbardziej znanych amerykańskich pisarzy i dziennikarzy, podziwianym za bezczelne, zabawne i niekiedy odważne felietony. W 1913 roku wyruszył do Meksyku, będącego wówczas w trakcie ewolucji, i nigdy więcej go nie widziano.
