On November 20, 1940, renowned author Ernest Hemingway married journalist Martha Gellhorn in Cheyenne, Wyoming, following the finalization of his divorce from Pauline Pfeiffer. This marriage marked a significant chapter in Hemingway's life, as Gellhorn was not only a partner but also a fellow writer who shared his passion for adventure and storytelling. After his previous marriage to Hadley Richardson, Hemingway had established a pattern of relocation, and this time was no different. He divided his time between his residence in Cuba, where he found inspiration for many of his works, and the newly developed resort area of Sun Valley, Idaho. This period was characterized by Hemingway's prolific writing and his deepening relationship with Gellhorn, who would later become a significant influence on his literary career. Their marriage would last until 1945, during which they traveled extensively and experienced the tumultuous events of World War II together, further shaping Hemingway's perspectives and writings during this era. #mooflife #mof #MomentOfLife #ErnestHemingway #MarthaGellhorn #1940Marriage #CheyenneWyoming #LiteraryHistory
