Hunting for Hemingway in Yellowstone country
Tuesday, August 18, 2015 at 12:00AM
Ernest Hemingway first arrived at the Clarks Fork River valley on July 13, 1931, bouncing along Yellowstone National Park's gravel roads in a Ford Model A roadster until he reached one of the wildest places in America.
Hemingway was 31, looking for a place to hunt, fish and write, looking to get away from Key West's heat and anyone who fawned over the best–selling author of "The Sun Also Rises" and "A Farewell to Arms." He was seeking something wilder and more adventurous than the Sheridan area he'd visited in 1928 on his first trip to Wyoming.
