that bierce was a muckraker, albeit an unlikely one not only>’s most active period in journalism by only a decade helps place him in that tradition.

in chapter eight, “the funding bill and beyond,” lindley explores bierce’s role in the defeat of the railroad funding bill sponsored by collis p. huntington. sent to washington in 1896 by his employer, william randolph hearst, bierce launched a literary campaign against huntington and the corrupt southern pacific railroad. lindley observes that while in washington, bierce “became, in essence, a daily reporter rather than the weekly columnist he had been for so long.” yet even as he “was achieving what appeared to be his greatest journalistic success, bierce was becoming even less enchanted with journalism. . . . [his] greatest newspaper success also became in a sense his greatest newspaper defeat.” according to lindley, bierce’s “increasing disgust with hearst’s editors and methods and his refusal to continue writing at times suggest that even as he was attacking the railroad, he was becoming suspicious of the motives for those attacks.”
