Ernest Hemingway was not from St. Louis, but St. Louis money financed his ability to live the life he lived and write. In fact, three out of four of Hemingway's wives were from St. Louis--two were from wealthy families. That money allowed him to write full-time and live in Paris.
Andrew J. Theising, author of "Hemingway's Saint Louis: How St. Louisans Shaped His Life and Legacy," joined Debbie Monterrey to talk about it.
