This is a very cute and informative book about the history of Alcatraz - which includes a lot of information about its history beyond just being a prison, which was what made me want to read this.

Interesting nonfiction book about Alcatraz. Previous to reading the book, I'll I knew about the island was what I learned reading Al Capone Does My Shirts, a Mythbusters episode, and the movie The Rock. While the escape stories were intriguing, what I learned, that I had no prior knowledge of, was about the Native Americans squatting on the land.
