Here's the lastest news from Addicus Books
| Author Makes Weekly Trips to Alcatraz Island |
Addicus Books published Battle at Alcatraz in 1999, and the book is still a top seller…especially in the gift shop at Alcatraz Island. The former prison is now a tourist attraction off the coast of San Francisco. Since the book’s publication, the author, Ernie Lageson, has made weekly trips to the island gift shop, where he autographs books. He typically sells several dozen books in an afternoon.
Battle at Alcatraz tells the story of the attempt by several inmates to overtake the prison in 1946. At the time, Lageson, age 13, lived with his parents in civilian housing on the island. His dad was a prison guard, who was shot and left for dead during the uprising; however, he survived.
