Description

Ambrose Bierce was a war veteran, journalist, satirist, and literary ghost hunter whose words cut like steel. In 1913, at the age of 71, he left the United States for Mexico and simply vanished into history. Was he executed? Did he die in battle? Or did the ultimate cynic stage the perfect final act? In this episode, we examine the strange, symbolic, and still unsolved disappearance of one of America's most compelling literary figures.
