Ambrose Bierce was an American Civil War veteran, and he was also a writer: he was one of the most famous journalists of the late 19th century; he was a literary critic, a poet and a short story writer (primarily exploring themes of war, death, and the general absurdity that is life). And he is also one of the biggest disappearing acts of the 20th century. When he was 71 years old, Bierce rode into Mexico, and that's about the last anyone ever heard from him. Of course, there are plenty of theories about what happened.
