Since the publication of Hemingway’s “Indian Camp” in 1924, many scholars has considered Doctor Adams to be insensitive, cold-hearted, ethically immoral. Some others labeled him as a racist and a sexist. After a scrupulous and strenuous close reading together with extensive reviewing and analyzing of relevant references, the author of this paper finds that Uncle George has always been misinterpreted over the time. This paper aims to point out the misunderstanding, misinterpretation or even distortion in the previous researches, in an attempt to defend for Doctor Adams and put the record straight.
