What is the epitaph on the Hemingway Memorial?
Hemingway was asked to write a short eulogy for one of his friends, Gene Van Guilder, who was accidently shot while duck hunting. The epitaph on the memorial reads: Best of all he loved the fall The leaves yellow on the cottonwoods Leaves floating on the trout streams And above the hills The high blue windless skies Now he will be a part of them forever Ernest Hemingway – Idaho – 1939 View a photo of the Ernest Hemingway memorial.
