Above Alcatraz

Text by Robert E. Burger

According to the National Park Service this is "the best book written on Alcatraz", and formed the basis for a one hour ABC documentary!

The tarnished jewel which nature placed in San Francisco Bay has been coveted and feared, admired and discarded by successive generations since the day some two hundred years ago when the Spanish explorer, Ayala, gave it the name Isla de Alcatraces, island of pelicans. The thought keeps coming back that someone should "do something with it". This book is a pictorial essay on how man has wrestled with that thought and with those twelve acres of sandstone.

As a special bonus, Robert Cameron will autograph every book purchased from Above Books!
