Hemingway’s Hobby
This photo captures a moment in 1941 when Ernest Hemingway, accompanied by his third wife Martha Gellhorn and their sons Gregory, John, and Patrick, went on a shooting expedition in Sun Valley, Idaho. Hemingway’s contributions to American literature are widely acclaimed, as he remains one of the most influential writers of all time. His distinctive writing style incorporated elements of modernism and conveyed a notably masculine quality. One of his timeless bestsellers is “The Old Man and the Sea.” In his fiction, Hemingway often featured male characters who were former soldiers and shared his passion for firearms.
Therefore, it comes as no surprise that he enjoyed participating in this shooting outing with his wife and sons.
