"UP FROM THE HILLS"

by N.C. Hanks

"…the most inspirational (story) I have ever read, with the exception of Helen Keller."

Heber J. Grant, LDS President, 1925

"The story of one who made good in spite of terrible odds."

James E. Talmage, LDS apostle and author, 1925




“Up From The Hills” is an inspirational story of Cory Hanks's (the Reader's great uncle) triumph of the human spirit over devastating tragedy. Originally published in 1921, this autobiography still leaves the reader inspired and awestruck with heart soaring and soul resolving to emulate Cory Hanks's victory and the incredible way he gave back to the world.

About the Author: Nymphus Coridon, “N.C.” or “Cory” Hanks was born November 3, 1882 and died January 26, 1955 at the age of 72. At age 21, while earning money for school and his upcoming marriage, a horrendous mining accident robbed him of his sight and hands. Facing a life of misery, Cory pulled out of his own private hell and chose a path that gave him a full and happy life. As an educated world renowned lecturer and motivational speaker, Cory left behind a legacy of inspiration and optimism that lives today in all who learn of his story.

In addition to hosting a radio and two TV shows, John has appeared in movies, TV and radio commercials.
