Later, he used some of these experiences in his novel A Farewell to Arms. Despite his broken love affair with the beautiful nurse, Ernest married his first of four wives, Hadley Richardson in 1921. Soon the couple moved to Paris, where Ernest was part of the literary group later called The Lost Generation. Ernest and Hadley had one son, Jack, nicknamed Bumby. The family survived on money Ernest made writing short stories and working as a foreign reporter for the Toronto Star. But, they were somewhat poor. The couple found the money to travel to Austria and Spain, where Ernest discovered bullfighting and the running of the bulls in Pamplona. Ernest was not lucky in love. He divorced Hadley in 1927 and married second wife, American heiress Pauline Pfeiffer. They traveled to Key West, Florida, and although they had no real plans to stay, eventually bought a home there. Key West was a laid-back place and Ernest spent a great deal of time deep-sea fishing with friends. Ernest spent part of each day writing, but also found time for drinking with his buddies and more fishing, sometimes off the coast of Cuba. He did some traveling to Spain, and Wyoming. Thanks to a generous gift from Pauline's Uncle, they took a much-anticipated African safari, which lasted several months. However, by the mid-1930s, Ernest was carrying on a quasi-clandestine affair with Martha Gellhorn, also a journalist. In a nutshell, she was blond, beautiful and young. Martha became his third wife in 1940. During World War II, Ernest spent most of his time in Cuba and Key West. He worked semi-officially, through the US Embassy in Cuba patrolling the seas searching for German submarines on his own boat the Pilar. Then, as a journalist again, he covered D-Day and the final Allied push to victory in Europe. It was during the war he met his final wife, Mary, who he married in 1946. Through it all, Ernest continued to write.
