Large 8vo. Pp. 358. Bibliography. Index. Bound in bright green cloth with gilt lettering and rules on from board and spine. In the illustrated dust jacket that shows a large chip at tail of spine and nicks along lower edge of front panel. McWilliams' hagiography of Ambrose Bierce, being one of the first full biographical treatments of the noted writer. An example of McWilliams' defense of Bierce is his strident insistence that his secretary, Carrie Christiansen, who had moved across the hall from Bierce at his Washington, DC, apartment house, was a platonic arrangement. Following his disappearance, Christiansen was the sole heir of Bierce's estate. That said, McWilliams put forth significant, fresh research, consulting with Bierce's daughter Helen and other key figures. A vital contribution to the literature on Bitter Bierce. The uncommon dust jacket is now housed in a removable, clear archival sleeve. N° de réf. du vendeur 5316
