Ernest Hemingway's passion for the outdoors led him to the mountains near Yellowstone National Park during the 1930s. Here, between fishing and hunting excursions, he wrote parts of or completed some of his most famous novels, including A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and To Have and Have Not. This book, lavishly illustrated with photos of Hemingway's adventures there, is an in-depth biography of his life and work in the Yellowstone high country. It chronicles the writing he did there and reveals which scenes and characters in his books were derived from the Yellowstone area. Exhaustively researched, this book will fill a void in the scholarship on the Nobel Prize winning American author.

Ernest Hemingway in Yellowstone Country Reviews

  • Matthew Taggart

    This was a really good and fun read. I appreciated it for several reasons, the first being that it’s about the area around my hometown. It made me more than a little homesick, but it was awesome to visit through a book.
    I also dig the fact that it was a very well researched book, without being written by some hard to approach thesis from a scholar. I don’t know how to say that eloquently, but what I’m trying to say is that it felt like learning history from a good storyteller rather than a stuffy academic.
    I’m turning into a huge Hemingway fan, and I also appreciated a look at other aspects of his life besides the image most are familiar with.
    Worth your time and money!
