| | Ernest Hemingway: A Storyteller's Legacy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | Hemingway was born in the prosperous Chicago suburb of Oak Park, Illinois, to Clarence Hemingway, a family doctor, and Grace Hall, an aspiring opera singer who gave up a possible career for marriage and six children. |
 | | Hemingway was an admired hero, nominated for the Italian medal of valor, and touted in newspapers and newsreels at home as the first American wounded in Italy. |
 | | Hemingway was in his early forties, and he had become "Papa" with a full beard, casual dress, overwhelming physical presence, strong personality, great wit and charm, and enthusiasm in everything he did--writing, fishing, boxing, drinking, storytelling. |
