Hemingway Portrait
"The great thing is to last..."

Ernest Miller Hemingway was 18 years old when he walked into the newsroom of The Kansas City Star and began his writing career. Straight out of high school in Oak Park, Ill., Hemingway pounded the streets as a cub reporter at the newspaper for six and a half months, from Oct. 17, 1917 to April 30, 1918. From here, with World War I in progress, he joined the Red Cross ambulance service, headed for the front in Italy, was seriously wounded, fell in and out of love and willed himself into becoming a literary giant. In these Web pages The Star preserves Hemingway's Kansas City legacy. Included are stories he wrote, stories written about him and other ways to appreciate his place in the history of Kansas City and American literature.
--Steve Paul, senior writer and editor
