Bierce in his own words, November 10, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: A Sole Survivor: Bits of Autobiography (Hardcover)
This is the first book where the reader is taken through Bierce's life in his own words. From his experiences in the Civil War until his mysterious disappearance into Mexico in 1913, "Sole Survivor" tells Bierce's tale through his stories, newspaper work, and personal correspondence. A must-have volume for anyone interested in the great American journalist and author.

Well done, but not for everyone, November 14, 2003
This review is from: A Sole Survivor: Bits of Autobiography (Hardcover)
This excellent collection of Ambrose Bierce's writing, organized to replace the autobiography he never wrote.
BUT, this is certainly not a biography. Bierce is not always fun to read. If you're looking for a fun biography, look elsewhere. If you've read enough of Bierce's writings to know what you're getting, give this book serious consideration.
