A great spot to relax in suburbia
Ernest Hemingway was born on 21st July 1899 in Oak Park, a suburb
of Chicago, Illinois. He was one of six children. His father, Dr
Clarence Edmonds Hemingway was a fervent member of the First
Congregational church, his mother, Grace Hall, sang in the church
choir. At the age of 17 Hemingway published his first literary
work. He died aged 61, of self inflicted gun shot wounds. He was
the greatest of writers. Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961), started his
career as a writer in a newspaper office in Kansas City at the age
of seventeen. After the United States entered the First World War,
he joined a volunteer ambulance unit in the Italian army. Serving
at the front, he was wounded, was decorated by the Italian
Government, and spent considerable time in hospitals. After his
return to the United States, he became a reporter for Canadian and
American newspapers and was soon sent back to Europe to cover such
events as the Greek Revolution. Ernest Hemingway had a favorite
expression: il faut d'abord durer. He used the saying in his
private letters and on occasion inscribed the words in books he
signed for friends. The saying (French in origin) roughly
translates to "first, one must last." Ernest Hemingway is a writer
who has truly lasted. He has earned the distinction of being called
timeless. Your timing for this cache could be important with
