This is not the story of an ordinary criminal but rather the story of a man caught up in a world within which he could not function; boyhood naivere did not prepare him for society that inflicted stark reality. This true to life story is told in his own words, with minor editorial adjustments. The first twenty chapters are told before he found out the facts surrounding his father’s death. I am sure the reader will be as intrigued as I was by the circumstances that propelled this man inexorably onto his destructive path, a man without goals and who hated prisons as much as he depended upon them.
Giới thiệu về tác giả
Grace Baker Larson was born in Hot Springs, Montana, in 1940. She grew up on a large sheep ranch, where she learned to do all kinds of work. This prepared her to undertake jobs that in the 1970s were usually filled by men. When she was hired as the inmate paint crew supervisor at the Montana State Prison, eleven men made up her crew. Edwin Grant ‘Pappy’ Hamilton was one of the eleven. Grace was fascinated by the circumstances that subtly but inevitably propelled Pappy into a life of crime. He was the son and grandson of physicians. This is not the story of an ordinary criminal but rather the story of a man caught up in a world within which he could not function; boyhood naivere did not prepare him for a society that inflicted stark reality. This is his story, todl in his own words and verified by his extensive rap sheet.
