In a late letter, this man told his nephew’s wife that it “beats old age, disease, or falling down the cellar stairs” to be “shot to rags” against a stone wall. This man, alongside William Benton, was the main inspiration for a character who is nicknamed the “Indiana General” after using his Colt .44 to shoot out the dead center of a silver coin. This man’s mysterious 1913 (*) disappearance in Mexico, which Carlos Fuentes fictionalized in his novel The Old Gringo, occurred seven years after the publication of his work originally called The Cynic’s Word Book. For 10 points, name this American author who included many satiric definitions in his Devil’s Dictionary. ■END■
