A remarkable group of vintage black-and-white photographs, circa the late 1940s, documenting the Hollywood and literary set at play in Sun Valley with the resort's legendary guide Taylor "Bear Tracks" Williams. The group includes a smaller photograph of a laughing Norma Shearer holding a shotgun, inscribed to Williams, two photographs of Ernest Hemingway hunting with Gary Cooper and Williams, a lodge interior showing Hemingway with Cooper and others including the journalist Martha Gellhorn, and about nine further images of the hunting parties and their guides. Some related ephemera is also present, including later notes from Lillian Gish and Bette Davis. Taylor "Bear Tracks" Williams was the legendary chief hunting and fishing guide at Sun Valley, the man who led the stream of Hollywood stars and sportsmen drawn to the Idaho resort in its glamorous early years out into the mountains after game. Among his devoted clients and friends were Clark Gable and Gary Cooper, two of the keenest hunters in Hollywood, as well as Ernest Hemingway, who made Williams his favorite guide and one of his closest Idaho companions. A Kentuckian by birth, well read, witty, and easygoing, Williams earned the name "Bear Tracks" not for hunting bears but for the shape of his own footprints, and he remained a fixture of Sun Valley life until his death in 1959, remembered as much for his friendships with the famous men he guided as for his skill in the field. In near fine condition. A wonderful archive capturing the camaraderie of Hollywood stars, writers, and guides in Sun Valley's golden years. Sun Valley, the Idaho resort opened in 1936 by Averell Harriman's Union Pacific Railroad, quickly became a favored retreat of Hollywood stars and literary celebrities, who came to ski in winter and to hunt and fish in the surrounding mountains. Its most famous guide was Taylor "Bear Tracks" Williams, the resort's chief hunting guide and a legendary outdoorsman who led parties for the likes of Clark Gable, Gary Cooper, and Ernest Hemingway, the last of whom became a close friend and made Sun Valley a second home. Gable and Cooper were among the most avid sportsmen in Hollywood, and photographs such as these capture the easy camaraderie of the movie stars, writers, and guides who gathered in Sun Valley during its glamorous early years. Ernest Hemingway (1899 to 1961) was one of the most influential American writers of the twentieth century, the author of The Old Man and the Sea, A Farewell to Arms, and For Whom the Bell Tolls. His friendship with Williams dated from their meeting in Idaho in the late 1930s, after which Hemingway returned frequently to Ketchum before eventually settling there. …

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. …

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. Ernest Hemingway and Martha Gellhorn met in December 1936 and soon began working alongside one another as correspondents, traveling to Spain in 1937 to report on the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. At the time still married to his second wife, Pauline Pfeiffer, Hemingway divorced in 1939, the same year he and Gellhorn first visited Ketchum; they married the following year. During this period Gellhorn filed reports from Spain for Collierâs, while Hemingway published For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940), a novel partly written in Ketchum and illustrated on its dust jacket with a photograph of him at his typewriter taken there.

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.

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.
