Some trivia: There's much controversy over 'Big Two Hearted River'. Hemingway actually spent time in Walloon Lake, Michigan after being wounded in the war which is near Petoskey in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. However, the actual Two Hearted River is in the far northern part of the Upper Penninsula which empties into Lake Superior. Yet the story appears to describe a completely different river, the Fox river in the UP, which is a tributary of the Manistique River which flows through Seney Wildlife Preserve.
Not having read Hemingway recently, I seem to recall he also made mention of Mancelona, MI which is also in my neighborhood, so to speak. So of course, you have excellent literary taste.
