A willing ambassador for the Lost Generation, the globe trotting, prize-winning author was wounded in WWI, cavorted with Hollywood stars, tracked game through the African bush, fished the Gulf Stream, survived two plane crashes, and even once hunted German U-boats in the Caribbean. ====

__Early Life__
==== Hemingway was born inn Oak Park, Illinois. Grace Hall, his mother, had an operatic career before marrying Dr. Clarence Edmonds Hemingway; he taught his son to love out-door life. The relationship between Hemingway and his mother was rocky, because he never forgave her for dressing him as a little girl when he was a small child. Hemingway's father took his own life in 1928 because he had lost his health to Diabetes and most of his money in the Florida Real-Estate bubble. Hemingway attended public schools in Oak Park and his earliest stories were published in the high school newspaper. Upon his graduation in 1917, Hemingway worked six months as a reporter for The Kansas City Star, after he graduated in 1917. After those six months, he joined a volunteer ambulance unit in Italy during World War I. In 1918 he suffered a severe leg wound.Hemingway was twice decorated by the Italian government, for his service and dedication. ====


 * ===__Key West__===

==== Visitors to the Hemingway Home & Museum stroll toward the entrance March 14, 2010, in Key West, Fla., shortly after a ceremony was staged designating the site a Literary Landmark. The designation was given by a division of the American Library Association. Hemingway lived in the house from 1931 through 1939 and wrote many of his manuscripts in the property's second-story writing studio. The Pulitzer and Nobel prize-winning author owned the property until his death in 1961. ====

__World War 1__
==== World War I was raging in Europe, during the year of Hemingway's graduation, and despite Woodrow Wilson's attempts to keep America out of the war, the United States joined the Allies in the fight against Germany and Austria in April, 1917. When Hemingway was denied enlistment into the army because of poor vision after his eighteenth birthday. When he heard the Red Cross was taking volunteers as ambulance drivers he quickly signed up. In December of 1917 he was accepted, he left his job at the paper in April of 1918, and sailed for Europe in May. In the short time that Hemingway worked for the Kansas City //Star// he learned some stylistic lessons that would later influence his fiction. The newspaper advocated short sentences, short paragraphs, active verbs, authenticity, compression, clarity and immediacy. Hemingway later said: "Those were the best rules I ever learned for the business of writing. I've never forgotten them." ====

__Bullfighting__
====When Hemingway saw his first bullfight in Pamplona in 1923, he brought his wife Hadley along because he hoped the event would have a positive influence on the unborn son she then carried. The sport certainly affected the budding writer. It became one of the reigning passions of his life. ====
