An important collection of letters written by famous American writer, journalist Ambrose Bierce to many different people. This collection was first published in the year 1922. The editor Bertha Clark Pope says in her introduction to the volume “Bierce himself shows his recognition of the “underground” quality of his reputation in a letter to George Sterling: “How many times, and during a period of how many years must one’s unexplainable obscurity be pointed out to constitute fame? Not knowing, I am almost disposed to consider myself the most famous of authors. I have pretty nearly ceased to be ‘discovered,’ but my notoriety as an obscurian may be said to be worldwide and everlasting.”
