Montana's last hanging was September 10, 1943. The state's last hanging in Missoula in 1943 was also the state's last execution for 52 years. Montana didn't execute another inmate until 1995, when Duncan McKenzie was executed by lethal injection after spending 20 years on death row. Today, lethal injection is the only death sentence method allowed in the state, and McKenzie's execution was the last time it was used.

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.
