Thank you for sharing this underappreciated genius with your readers. Ever since I read and was shocked by, Chickmagua when I was in elementary school, Bierce has been one of my favorite American authors. When anyone wants to know more about his writing I would describe it as "Poe meets Twain". I've gleaned many a quote from the Devils Dictionary ;)
