Alcatraz Island: Memoirs of a Rock Doc

"Alcatraz Island: Memoirs of a Rock Doc" vividly chronicles the experiences of Milton Daniel Beacher, M.D., an Alcatraz medical officer from 1937-1938. Based on his original journal entries, Beacher’s memoir presents a compelling behind-the-bars depiction of life on the Rock for prisoners like Al Capone, "Machine Gun" Kelly, and Alvin Karpis. It includes details of a long prison strike, the Cole/Roe escape, an attempted mass break, and a little history. Befriended by some prisoners, their first-person narratives and original poetry are memorialized. Visit www.alcatrazdoc.com for excerpts and reviews. This updated eBook contains 18 original photographs not published in previous eBook editions. We are also pleased to announce the fourth printing of the paperback book - with color-enhanced covers.Read more
