Imagine playing hide-and-seek in the prison morgue or having a convict as your babysitter—or Al Capone as your neighbor.
"The happiest days of my life were spent on Alcatraz," proclaims one of the many children who have lived on the island. Seizing the imagination, this pictorial history recalls, era by era, the children who have called Alcatraz home as use of the island evolved from Native American fishing ground to lighthouse, to military outpost, to military prison, to federal penitentiary, to the occupied territory of Native American protesters, to national historical park.
