Inscription.
Kalkaska County. Hemingway's Michigan. It was the summer of 1916. School was out, and Ernest Hemingway and a friend were on their way to the northern woods of Michigan to camp and fish. A steamer brought them to Frankfort, and from there they hiked to Bear Creek. After having luck there, they rode trains to the Boardman River and then on to Kalkaska. From there they hiked to the Rapid River for their last fishing, and then returned to Kalkaska. Hemingway remembered the Kalkaska area, and years later he created two stories set in that area, The Light of the World and The Battler. , Michigan Hemingway Society 2019 , For more information please visit www.MIHemingwayTour.org
