John Chester Hammond (1842-1926) was a Northampton, Massachusetts lawyer and later Judge of Hampshire County Superior Court who employed recent Amherst College graduate (and later US President) Calvin Coolidge in his firm "Hammond & Field" in 1895.〔(Calvin Coolidge Memorial Foundation )〕 Coolidge said of Hammond in his 1929 autobiography, "“He was a lawyer of great learning and wide business experience, with a remarkable ability in the preparation of pleadings and an insight that soon brought him to the crucial point of a case. He was massive and strong rather than elegant, and placed great stress on accuracy. He presented a cause in court with ability and skill.”〔"The Autobiography of Calvin Coolidge," 1929.〕 Hammond lived from 1891 in the shingle-style Queen Anne home he built located in the now-named Elm Street Historic District of Northampton, Massachusetts. ==References== 〔 * * * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「John C Hammond」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
