abstract	Robert Hale Merriman (1908 – April 2, 1938) was an American professor of economics at the University of California, Berkeley. He joined the Republican forces in Spain during the Spanish Civil War, and commanded the Abraham Lincoln Batallion. Merriman led the battalion again during the Battle of Teruel in Aragon. Under heavy attack by Nationalist tanks and aircraft, the battalion was forced to retreat in the only available direction, Catalonia and its boundary, the Ebro River. On April 2, 1938, around the vineyards of Corbera d'Ebre, near the key city of Gandesa, 20 kilometers before the river, Merriman and his lieutenant, Edgar James Cody, were either killed in action or captured and executed some hours later. Milton Wolff succeeded Merriman as commander of the Lincoln Brigade. Merriman was probably the model for Robert Jordan, the hero of Ernest Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls.
