Hunting for Hemingway in Yellowstone country

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.

Hemingway in Cuba

Shortly after Ernest Hemingway won the Nobel Prize in 1954, Richard Manning, who went on to become the executive editor of the ATLANTIC, visited the Hemingways in Cuba to collect first-person material for a magazine profile. From extensive notes taken during that visit and in subsequent talks with Hemingway in Cuba and New York, in August of 1965 he wrote one man's remembrance of Hemingway in his late years.
