Ernest Hemingway did some of his best writing in Big Horn, Wyoming, at the historic Spear Ranch, which he prized for its solitude and seclusion.
He tried the Folly Ranch first, but noisy college-age tourists drove him to the Sheridan Inn. There, his third-floor room in August 1928 proved both unbearably hot and small.
The third floor had once housed the servants, and a 6-by-9-foot room barely accommodated a bed, much less a burly writer like Hemingway.
That soon had Hemingway looking at other ranches for the peace and quiet he needed, among them the Spear Ranch, where he wrote at least some of his famous novel, “A Farewell to Arms.”
That very ranch has just hit the real estate market for $29 million, according to a listing by Hall and Hall .
The Spear Ranch takes its name from it
