Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce (1842 - c.1914) was an American short story writer, journalist, poet, and American Civil War veteran.

Bierce was regarded as one of the most influential journalists in the United States, and as a pioneering writer of realist fiction.

In 1913, Bierce told reporters that he was travelling to Mexico to gain first-hand experience of the Mexican Revolution. He disappeared and was never seen again.

Here’s another quote from Bierce that I remember:

A son does not learn how to become a son until he becomes a father.
