Can Such Things Be?
Ambrose Bierce disappeared into the Mexican desert in 1914, falling off the face of the Earth, quite possibly following the trail of revolutionary Pancho Villa. The fate of Bierce has been variously rumored to be every bit as comic and grotesque, as ironic and macabre as the sorry fates of those he wrote about in such stories as "A Diagnosis of Death." One apocryphal tale has him being preserved in a giant bottle of formaldehyde by a rather tender-hearted group of South Pacific natives. We suppose there is some truth in that.
