For Ernest Hemingway, the American Civil War was rooted in family history--two grandfathers and two granduncles were Union volunteers. A student of warfare and military science, Hemingway had numerous Civil War books in his vast library. He shared this interest with several writer freinds, including F. Scott Fitzgerald and John Peale Bishop, as well as his brilliant editor, Maxwell Perkins. By looking at this nexus of literary greats, the reader can better understand the Civil War's persistant legacy in Hemingway's life and art.

Length: 46 pages.
