Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce was born on June 24 in 1842. He was an American short story writer, journalist, poet, and Civil War veteran.

One of Bierce's book, The Devil's Dictionary was named as one of "The 100 Greatest Masterpieces of American Literature" by the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration.

"An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" written in 1890 and originally published by The San Francisco Examiner on July 13, 1890, and was first poised in Bierce's book Tales of Soldiers and Civilians in 1891.
