Detailed biography chronicling the events, experiences, and people of this formative year in the young writer’s life. Paul covers Hemingway’s six-month stint as a cub reporter for the Kansas City Star, later service in the Red Cross ambulance division in Italy during World War I, and subsequent wounding.

Kennedy Library archives, and other sources.
