WIST Quotations

A quotation from Ambrose Bierce

REDEMPTION, n. Deliverance of sinners from the penalty of their sin, through their murder of the deity against whom they sinned. The doctrine of Redemption is the fundamental mystery of our holy religion, and whoso believeth in it shall not perish, but have everlasting life in which to try to understand it.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?) American writer and journalist
“Redemption,” The Devil’s Dictionary (1911)

Today in Writing History June 24, 1842: Ambrose Bierce, American short story writer, essayist, and journalist was born. The American Revolution Bicentennial Administration named his book, “The Devil’s Dictionary,” one of the top 100 masterpieces of American literature. Many consider his horror writing on par with Poe and Lovecraft. As a satirist, he has been compared with Voltaire and Swift. His war stories influenced Hemingway. In 1913, at age 71, he traveled to Mexico to cover the revolution. He joined Pancho Villa’s army and witnessed the Battle of Tierra Blanca. He never returned from Mexico. No one knows what happened to him and his body was never found. However, a priest named James Lienert, claimed that Bierce was executed by firing squad in the town cemetery there.

Story of supposed #CivilWar era #Gold recovered by the #FBI is worthy of a story by #AmbroseBierce
Shipment to Philadelphia US Mint was done in a wagon train with a Union military escort
Some outlets wrote that #Confederates ambushed gold envoy and in others that the Union soldiers themselves suffered from the #GoldRush and killed each other.
There is not even agreement on how many tons of gold there were. Moving 7 to 9 tons of gold and burying it sounds strange under fire of Confederates

Is it nitpicking to complain about not being able to find any #AmbroseBierce books instore at our "best" bookshops in Melbourne, "world literary capital and UNESCO City of Literature"? Sure they're "available to order", but sometimes you just want to scratch that book itch right away.
