Ernest Hemingway's Places
Ernest Hemingway was one of the worlds ultimate Literary Travelers. He was a writer that we associate with many places around the globe. When we think of Ernest Hemingway we might think of Paris and The Sun Also Rises or Spain and For Whom the Bell Tolls, or Italy and A Farewell to Arms. Maybe we see him on Kilimanjaro or in Cuba or maybe as a young man in the northern woods of Michigan.
In Hemingway's Places we hope to celebrate many of the significant literary sites that belong in some way to the legacy of Ernest Hemingway. Please contact us if you have suggestions for articles or interesting Hemingway resources.
Places Where Hemingway Fished in Michigan
Author: Ernest Hemingway
One of the first streams Hemingway fished was School Creek, not far from Walloon Lake. As his skill with a fly rod improved and he became older, he would venture to other streams on weekends. These weekend excursions were also camping trips. He would pack his tent, a change of clothes, some food and be on his way. His transportation was his thumb since he hitchhiked and walked where he wanted to go.

A Visit To Hemingway's Cuba And The Search For The Old Man And The Sea
Author: Ernest Hemingway
As the sun rises over the defunct fishing processing plant on the hill overlooking the bay, the backyard roosters settle into a late morning silence. Everyone in Cojimar, Cuba seems headed for the water. Old men pedal slowly along on Chinese-made Flying Pigeon bicycles, fishing poles balanced on the handlebars. Barefoot kids in tattered shorts jog toward the docks where their friends are already honing their splashless back flips.

Ernest Hemingway and Pigott, Arkansas
Piggott, Arkansas, is a town of just under 4000 residents. Piggott is an attractive town, with lovely homes, and beautiful scenery, but it is an out-of-the-way town, and one doesn't just stop at Piggott while on the way someplace else. It's not off any major interstate, and Piggott doesn't even have a Wal-Mart store.

Fitzgerald, Hemingway And The Sun Also Rises
Author: F. Scott Fitzgerald
"Dear Charley - You wanted to know the decision on Hemingway: We took it, - with misgiving. There was of course a great [question]. I simply thought in the end that the balance was slightly in favor of acceptance, for all the worry [and] general misery involved."

Ernest Hemingway and Key West Writers
Author: Ernest Hemingway
In the mid-19th century in Key West, the cigar industry transformed the island into the thirteenth largest port in the country. To get an education and to relax while they worked, the cigarmakers hired lectores, or readers, to keep them up on the news and the classics. These lectores read in both English and Spanish.

The Sun Also Sets: A Visit to Hemingway's Grave and Memorial
Author: Ernest Hemingway
It's quiet here at Hemingway's Grave. Sun Valley is filled with late afternoon light and there is a chill in the air. A new red truck drives into the cemetery, parks, and three large men climb out. They come over and ask where Hemingway's grave is. I point to the long stone slab I'm standing next to. It is inscribed: Ernest Miller Hemingway, July 21, 1899- July 2, 1961. Mary lies next to him.

Hemingway at Shakespeare & Company
Author: Ernest Hemingway
For Ernest Hemingway, the walk from his Latin Quarter flat to Gertrude Stein's pavillon at 27, rue des Fleurs, would have been a pleasant one: down rue Moufftard until a left on rue Clovis took him past St. Etienne du Montno Notre Dame, but the sort of neighborhood church where you might stop and cross yourself if you were drunk and it was late and you were on your way home to your wife.

Hemingway in Pamplona
Author: Ernest Hemingway
I've fashioned a makeshift costume out of light khakis, a white t-shirt, and a wild west red bandanna. With me in the line at the bus station are young Spaniards, their uniforms exact: white trousers, white tunics, and the official San Fermin scarf, neatly tied in front and draped across the back. Inexplicably, I'm at the front of the line, a solitary American in questionable attire, and as such am duly ignored.

Hemingway in the Snow
Hemingway's tracks in the snow are easy to follow. This was the Hemingway of the 20's. Back from the Great War, Hemingway was still on his way. A reporter based in Paris for the Toronto Star, a roving correspondent writing down what he saw in typical staccato sentences; he was juggling a vast appetite for life and a tiny budget.

The Lessons of Youth:
Ernest Hemingway as a Young Man
Author: Ernest Hemingway
The year 1999 was the Centennial of the birth of Ernest Miller Hemingway, a writer who was a legend during his own lifetime. He stands as a monument to the power of literature and could easily be argued as the most influential American writer of this century. He was an icon, part myth and myth maker, a genius and hero to many and to others he was a writer obsessed with masculinity, violence and death.
