Ernie Pyle’s Last Column from James Brown on Vimeo. I had breakfast the other day in Indianapolis with my friend James W. “Jim” Brown. He turned me on this video he did recently about the last column Ernie Pyle wrote, a handwritten draft found in his pocket after he was killed, and about plans to print it as a small “book” on a letterpress. Among Jim Brown’s many projects has been helping out Pyle’s hometown museum in Indiana.
