While Bierce had started to write seriously during his war service, it was not yet a career for him. His next occupation was Treasury agent for the state of Alabama before he settled in San Francisco, California.

There he worked for the United States Mint. Now on the west coast living with a brother, Bierce was soon putting pen to paper, writing reviews, essays, poems, short stories, and sketches and submitting them to such newspapers as the San Francisco News-Letter and the California Advertiser. The next year he resigned from the News-Letter and he and Mary travelled throughout England, settling in Bristol.

That same year their first son Day was born. While writing for the humour magazine Fun as Grile Dod and regularly contributing to other such publications as Figaro and the London Sketch Book , Bierce started to have severe bouts of asthma. He often sought a cure at spas, and the long periods away from the family negatively impacted his marriage. Daughter Helen b was born next, the same year the Bierces returned to San Francisco.

Can someone please tell me what the title of the story is? How fascinating is Antiquity! We, too, are ancients. Of our enchanting time Posterity's great poets will sing immortal songs, and its archaeologists will reverently uncover the foundations of our palaces and temples. Meantime we swap jack-knives SO, basically, I have two days to write five essays on Ambrose Bierce.

Right now I am working on one that is going to be comparing the Setting of "Chickamauga" and "The Horseman in the Sky" and I am haveing trouble getting started. I suppose and help on how they may be similar and different will help. I am looking for thoughts that maybe I have not picked up on, so anything will be helpful.
