Overview and metadata sections

Lanham, C. T. (Charles Trueman), 1902-

C.T. Lanham was a life soldier who retired as a general. In 1944, during World War II, his troops were among the first to break out from Normandy, enter Paris, and attack the Siegfried Line in Germany. He became friends with Hemingway and corresponded with him for the next 17 years. After the war, he was chief of troop information and education; post-retirement he was associate editor of Infantry Journal.

The collection consists, for the most part, of Xerox copies of correspondence between General Lanham and Ernest Hemingway, a chronology by Lanham of the years (1944-1945) when Hemingway was attached to his unit in Europe during World War II as a war correspondent, and correspondence between Lanham, Mary Hemingway, and others about Hemingway. Also included in the collection are correspondence between Carlos Baker and Lanham and a draft of Chapter 9 of Baker's biography Ernest Hemingway: A Life Story (1969) containing Lanham's notes.

Publication by Carlos Baker: Ernest Hemingway: A Life Story (New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1969)

Gift of General C.T. Lanham and Mrs. C.T. Lanham.
