History
Ambrose Bierce was a close friend of Josephine Clifford McCrackin, both popular writers and journalists. Bierce came to visit her Loma Prieta home on the weekend of Oct. 7 and 8,1899, bringing his 23-year-old protegee, poet Herman Scheffauer. They stayed at Hotel Bohemia, in the hamlet of Burrell, on Loma Prieta Avenue and Summit Road.
