Description: Hemingway's Guns by Silvio Calabi, Steve Helsley, Roger Sanger Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Ernest Hemingway is a mythic writer and alpha male. As a hunter and conservationist, he drew greatly from the strong example of Theodore Roosevelt, and he much enjoyed teaching newcomers to shoot and hunt. Including short excerpts from Hemingways works, these stories of his guns and rifles tell us as much about him as a lifelong, expert hunter and Publisher Description Ernest Hemingways friend AE Hotchner once described a yellowed four-by-five picture of Ernest, shown to him by Hemingway, aged five or six, holding a small rifle. Written on the back in his mothers hand was the notation, "Ernest was taught to shoot by Pa when 2.5 years and when 4 could handle a pistol".Firearms and shooting infused Hemingways existence and thus his writing. He was a member of his high school gun club and went to war when he was eighteen. he hunted elk, deer, and bears in the American West and went on two extended African safaris, which figured hugely in his writing and changed his life. To the day of his death, Hemingway remained an avid hunter, first-class wingshot, and capable rifleman.Following years of research from Sun Valley to Key West and from Nairobi, Kenya, to Hemingways home in Cuba, this volume significantly expands what we know about Hemingways shotguns, rifles, and pistols — the tools of the trade that proved themselves in his hunting, target shooting, and in his writing. Weapons are some of our most culturally and emotionally potent artifacts. The choice of gun can be as personal as the car one drives or the person one marries — another expression of status, education, experience, skill, and personal style. Including short excerpts from Hemingways works, these stories of his guns and rifles tell us much about him as a lifelong expert hunter and shooters, and as a man.
