Title: The Storm, the Vets, and the Author
Author/Creator: Lawrence H. Martin
Publication Details: North Dakota Quarterly, Vol.73(1-2), pp.75-86
Annotation: Recounts details of the 1935 Florida hurricane, killing over six hundred World War I vets assigned there to build a highway. Contends that Hemingway s anger over what he perceived as governmental negligence in the matter, as evidenced in his essay Who Murdered the Vets?, was misplaced. Also suggests that Hemingway s criticism of the New Dealers should not be read as a political diatribe but rather as a humanitarian expression, deeply colored by outrage and anger.
