Earnest Hemingway and Elizabeth Hadley Richardson married in Bay Township, Wisconsin. They'd divorce in 1927 after she learned of Hemingway's affair with Pauline Pfeiffer, who had been a friend of hers.
They had one son, Jack, who in spite of having not grown up in his father's household, after his early years, perhaps somewhat reflects his interest in was famous for his interests in fishing. A resident of Idaho, he was the father of the acting Hemingway's.
Hemingway would marry Pfeiffer in 1927, and they'd divorce in 1940. In spite of the affair, Pfeiffer was a devout Catholic. How they were able to validly marry, in that light, is unknown to me, but Hemingway converted to Catholicism as a result fo the marriage. Interestingly, Pfeiffer was a supporter of the Nationalist cause in Spain during the Spanish Civil War, due to her views, whereas Hemingway famously supported the Republicans.
Their son Patrick, who is still living, was a wildlife conservationist.
That marriage ended due to an affair as well, after having produced two children. This time the affair was with Martha Gelhorn, a journalist, with a subsequent marriage lasting from 1940 to 1945. Gelhorn nonetheless had an affair with Gen. James Gavin while married to Hemingway. Shortly after that marriage ended, Hemingway married Mary Welsh Hemingway, to whom he remained married until his death in 1961. Their other son Gregory became a physician, but had a variety of personal problems that troubled him throughout his adult years.
The U.S. Army intervened in the Battle of Blair Mountain with 400 of 4,000 armed miners laying down their arms. Most of the remainder fled.
