In this webinar, former National Park Ranger and historian John Martini will focus not just on the island’s infamous history as a federal penitentiary, which operated from 1934 to 1963, but also its lesser-known roles as a Civil War fortress, a political prison for Confederate sympathizers, and a military prison for recalcitrant U.S. Army soldiers and Native American warriors.
