The hard work and dreams of An Immigrant, A Homesteader, And Sheep are alive in family memories even though there's very little evidence the ranch had existed as a busy, happy place. Kids and grandkids, the bleat of several thousand sheep , the bawling of cattle , and the neigh of the horses as well as the beautiful views, the orchards , and that smell of sage ; all are in the past but my hope is that this book will record my family's history for generations to come.

Autorenporträt
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.
