Ernest Hemingway is an enduring celebrity—a mythic writer and alpha male, he drew themes of action, adventure, and courage, from his days afield in North America, Cuba, Europe, and East Africa. 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 Hemingway’s works, these stories of his guns and rifles—as well as how he acquired them and what he did with them—tell us much about "Papa" as a lifelong, expert hunter and shooter and as a man.
