Cody, Cooke County, Red Lodge and More

The write-up in New West has produced some great suggestions for other Hemingway outposts in the American West. Here are a couple:

Maybe David Frey should visit Sunlight Basin and Crandall in northwest Wyoming , and Cooke City MT before he tops off that global Hemingway piece.

Then again , maybe we’d like to keep our local history secrets a few decades longer….

And …

Hemmingway loved Red Lodge. He spent a lot of time there drinking in the bars. Then, he spent seven weeks in St. Vincent Hospital recovering from a broken arm he recieved in a one car accident by Park City. The nurse that attended him became the inspiration for the short story, The Gamble, the Nurse, and the Radio, or some such. He knew Montana well.

Thanks for the tips, folks.
