OK...so I'm not Hemingway. But I know where he died.
Trees wane to slumber at this time of year
The air drifts laden with tamarack spears
With teal a swift, the wind in their sail
Bull elk prevail with nary a fear
I drove through Ketchum, Idaho a couple of years ago...beautiful country.
"On July 2, 1961, Ernest Hemingway died at his home in Ketchum, Idaho.
The New York Times reported that he accidentally shot himself, and Blaine County Sheriff Frank Hewitt initially said that no foul play was suspected."
"Hemingway’s wife, Mary, later admitted to the press that he had indeed taken his own life. And in the decades following his demise, multiple members of his family died by suicide as well — sparking rumors of a mysterious “Hemingway curse.”
