First Draft script for the 1992 film. Rock singer John Mellencamp made his screen and directorial debut in this story by author-screenwriter McMurtry. A big time country music star returns to his family's home in Indiana for his grandfather's birthday party and decides this is where he belongs. He begins an affair with his older brother's wife and goes to work on ruining all he has ever worked for, simply for a pipe dream of small-town life which he never fit into anyway. Incredibly similar to Mellencamp's life and based on the story "Lonesome Dove" by Larry McMurtry. Set in Doak City, Indiana, filmed on location in Seymour, Indiana. White self wrappers, integral with title page, dated February, 1985, noted as First Draft, with credit for screenwriter McMurtry. 130 leaves, mechanical duplication. Pages Fine, front wrapper missing, bound with two gold brads.

Rare Christmas card of Ernest and Mary Hemingway, inscribed by Mary to Taylor Williams. A circa 1953 folding Christmas card depicting Ernest Hemingway holding a cat and Mary Hemingway sitting on the porch of Finca Vigia holding another cat with a dog at her side. The inside of the card is printed, "Merry Christmas Ernest and Mary Hemingway." Inscribed on the inside by Mary, the card reads in full, "Our dearest Colonel - Clara Spiegel gave me a fill-in on you when I was in Chicago in September and from what she said, you're flourishing - also surrounded by beautiful red-heads. Watch yourself boy. Saw Hveill H. Ike yesterday and and gave you brief but big build-up. We leave here - Paris - in about a week for Venice - address: Gritti Palace Hotel - Grand Canal - Venice. Let us hear from you - Papa shooting pigeons magnificently in Cuba before we left - me, third-rate. Dear Taylor - we always miss you much love. Mary." The recipient was Hemingwayâs great friend, Taylor âBeartracksâ Williams, the well-known Sun Valley hunting and fishing guide. Hemingwayâs friendship with Williams dated back to their meeting in Idaho in the late 1930s, after which Hemingway frequently returned to Ketchum before eventually settling there.ÂMary Welsh Hemingway (1908â"1986) was an American journalist and writer who became Ernest Hemingwayâs fourth wife in 1946 and remained his partner until his death in 1961. Having worked as a foreign correspondent during World War II, she brought professional experience and organizational skill to Hemingwayâs later life, accompanying him during his final years in Cuba, Europe, and Idaho. After Hemingwayâs death, Mary Welsh Hemingway played a central role in shaping his posthumous reputation by editing and overseeing the publication of several unfinished works. In fine condition. The piece measures 7 inches by 5 inches. Ernest Hemingway (1899â"1961) was one of the most influential American writers of the 20th century, whose concise prose style and exploration of universal themes reshaped modern literature. Known for his works such as The Old Man and the Sea, A Farewell to Arms, and For Whom the Bell Tolls, Hemingway developed a narrative voice that captured the complexities of human struggle and resilience with stark simplicity. His experiences as a journalist and participant in both World Wars deeply informed his writing, lending authenticity to his depictions of courage, loss, and alienation. While his personal life, marked by adventure and tragedy, often overshadowed his literary contributions, his stylistic innovations and engagement with existential themes solidified his status as a transformative figure in American letters. By pushing the boundaries of narrative form and emphasizing the power of understatement, Hemingway left an enduring legacy on both literature and the cultural understanding of the human condition.

In 1941 the couple traveled to China on assignment for Collierâs and returned again to Ketchum before their marriage ended in divorce in 1945.

Rare original typed letter from guide Taylor Williams recollecting about hunting antelope with Ernest Hemingway. One page, single typed sheet. The letter reads in full, "Hemingway Box by Taylor Williams. Our party, (consisting of Hemingway, Lloyd Arnold, Ellis Chapin, our packer, and myself) had ridden into the first fringe of foothills above the plains along the Pahsimoroi River in quest of a trophy antelope, having passed up several in the lower country that were not to our liking. Chapin was riding off to the side where he could get a view from behind a butte when he shouted to us that he had just jumped a small band of antelope. With that, Hemingway spurred his horse and rode forward to get a better view as they came out from behind the rise. On seeing a sizable buck which was, by this time, in full stride, he dismounted and ran forward for a better view and shot. He was using my Model 70 Winchester 257 with open sights. He struck the buck high in the shoulders and he went down at the first shot. We stepped off the distance, 220 full steps. I think this was one of the most spectacular shots that I can remember in my experience as a guide." The writer was Hemingwayâs great friend, Taylor âBeartracksâ Williams, the well-known Sun Valley hunting and fishing guide. Hemingwayâs friendship with Williams dated back to their meeting in Idaho in the late 1930s, after which Hemingway frequently returned to Ketchum before eventually settling there. Ernest Hemingway wrote portions of For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940) while staying in Ketchum, Idaho, where the landscape and relative isolation supported sustained work on the novel. It is even illustrated on the dust jacket with a photograph of him at his typewriter taken there. In near fine condition with creasing and mail folds. Accompanied by two black and white glossy photographs of Hemingway with an antelope. The first is Hemingway smiling in a cowboy hat, standing beside a horse with an antelope on its back, and holding its horn with his left hand.

Additionally inscribed by Mary Hemingway in black ballpoint above Ernest Hemingway's inscription, "Love to Taylor Mary."

One page, on Finca Vigia stationery from San Francisco de Paula, Cuba, dated 27 May 1957, addressed to Williams (as "Colonel"). The letter reads in full, "Dearest Colonel: We finally picked up the photographs at the Floridita, two prints of this same picture, and I must say it does full justice to your distinguished nose. None of us looks as bad as we might have, and that's about all we can expect from photographs these days, I guess. You haven't missed anything super in the fishing here. Papa and I have been out four times, I think, since you left, and one day when there was only very patchy current, we spotted one in the morning, put the bait over him two or three times, he fooling around, teasing us, and Papa finally hooked him and brought him in. That afternoon a little one - 35-40 lbs. took a bait and I got him in with no suffering or nonsense such as I was displaying while you were here. I think the swimming helps ton up the muscles - have done my full half-mile in the pool every day now for a long time. Recently the weather has improved slightly - it waits until afternoon to rain. Otherwise no news - very quiet here, and we miss you every single day, and the Little House, empty, looks forlorn and missing you too. Not having your precise address on the Keys, I'm sending this to S.V., where you'll have it when you arrive. Dearest Taylor - very much love and affections and good wishes from both of us - Mary. Papa reading in his chair says me too." In fine condition with mail folds. The piece measures 5.75 inches by 7.75 inches.
