On back: "Redwood Empire Association News Bureau; 85 Post Street, San Francisco 4, Calif. (Redwood Empire Association Photo) 'THE ROCK'--Grim old Alcatraz Prison is an object of never-ending awe to the throngs of tourists and vacationists who annually visit San Francisco, southern gateway of the Redwood Empire. Perched on solid rock in the middle of the bay, Alcatraz is a maximum security prison where some of the nation's most case-hardened criminals are confined. The island was named by Don Manuel de Ayala when he sailed the San Carlos into the bay on August 5, 1775.".
