Description

In the waters of San Francisco Bay stands a small, rocky island called Alcatraz. Nicknamed “The Rock,” Alcatraz was the site of a Civil War fortress, a federal prison, and an occupation by American Indian activists. Now a National Historic Landmark, Alcatraz Island is rumored to be haunted! In this fascinating book, readers will learn all there is to see and do at Alcatraz. They’ll discover its long, bloody history and meet notorious inmates of the prison including Al Capone and Robert “Birdman of Alcatraz” Stroud. A thrilling mix of fact, fable, and fun, this high-interest book is paired with accessible language that appeals to struggling readers.
