Excerpt from Ambrose Bierce

There is something pathetic in the taking off of Bierce. He was warmly interested in the attempts to set up a stable government in Mexico, and sharply rebuked many of his friends for their lack of sympathy. It was his devotion to an ideal which took him to Mexico, where he sacrificed himself to the cause of humanity just as truly as did Lord Byron, who died for the glory that was Greece. Because his champion was an outlaw, hunted like a wild beast by the tr00ps of the United States, does not detract from the high purpose which inspired Bierce to cast his lot with an ungrateful people. Nor was his death inconsistent with his life. He died, as he hadlived, fighting the majority in the interest of an uh popular minority.
