The Pillar of the Mountain
Between 1937-41, the tragic past of the fullback for the University of Kentucky football team was a guarded secret. No one was sure where he had come from. And no one knew why he never spoke about his family. All they knew was that Claude Hammond was extremely tough. Claude was an orphan from a mean Appalachian coal town. He witnessed his own mother's murder and lived on the streets before being taken in by distant family members. He knew, somehow, that he was his family's only hope for a future. Through courage and sheer determination, Claude transformed his own life and the lives of his family members, putting his own children as well as nieces and nephews through college. He was a catalyst, transforming a family from tragedy and poverty to education and prosperity. Claude kept his past a secret, even from his own children. As a college student in the 1970s, the author discovered the shocking facts about his father's childhood. How Claude overcame tragedy is an inspiring story.
I’m No Hero
I’m No Hero: Story of a WWII Soldier By: Steven E. Weick Growing up, Steven E. Weick heard very short snippets of his father’s time in World War II. But like many veterans, his father never talked much about his harrowing experiences. After graduating high school and joining the Air Force, Weick’s father decided it was time to share with his son more in-depth the journey, small joys, and traumatizing moments from his time in the trenches of WWII. After his father’s passing in 2012, Weick dove into more research about his father’s unit and scoured through thousands of morning reports, battle narratives, causality reports, after-action reports, and company rosters, resulting in I’m No Hero: Story of a WWII Soldier, a retelling of his father’s experiences in WWII along with historical records to show the everyday life of one solider fighting in one of bloodiest wars in our nation’s, and the world’s, history.
