Sinopsis
Edwin Grant Hamilton was the son and grandson of physicians. When his father died his mother moved back to Red Lodge, Montana where her parents lived. Grant spent his childhood there. He enlisted in the Army right after Pearl Harbor was bombed. Instead of the military life he hoped for, an incident that he was blamed for put him in the Brig, and resulted in a dishonorable discharge. Grant returned home and then went to Louisiana. Big mistake; he was flat broke, hungry, and had no idea what he'd do. He went into a bar; a $10 bill was right in from of him. He grabbed it and ran. This crime gave him lodging in Angola. His sentence was 3 years; he'd been charged with several unsolved crimes besides the $10. The cruelty that he saw and was also a recipient of made him bitter. When he was released he went back to Red Lodge but his drinking, and petty crimes kept him on the move. Grant "Pappy" Hamilton was incarcerated in several different prisons, and he was in Deer Lodge 3 times. This book is in Grant's own words. His Rap Sheet supports every bit of his story. As an Author, my hope is those reading this book will become more knowledgeable of our prison systems, and young people will make responsible decisions when it comes to alcohol.

Acerca del autor
I met Edwin Grant Hamilton when I was working at the Montana State Prison, Deer Lodge, Montana. My position was Inmate Paint Crew Supervisor. I had 11 inmates on my crew, "Pappy" Hamilton was one of the. After listening to his story, I decided get him tapes and a recorder so he could tell his story. I was raised on a ranch, and after I left home, I held so many different jobs. I had married at 16; 4 children in 8.5 years. We were divorced and I married a man who didn't drink. He was a house painter by trade. I learned to paint and over the years worked as a foreman, prison crew leader, and I was the first woman hired in the Trades by the Anaconda Company. I had a son from this marriage. An injury prompted a change in my life. I enrolled at Spokane Falls Community College. I hadn't been in a classroom since I was 12 years old! I became a Substance Abuse Counselor, and I also took a writing class. The result was this book, The Making Of A Con. And I graduated with Honors.
