Philip Grosser
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Philip Grosser (born 1890 in Boston, died October 3, 1933 in Boston) was an anarchist and anti-militarist hailed by Alexander Berkman as "one of [my] finest comrades". He was imprisoned in the prison at Alcatraz Island for refusing to be drafted during the first World War. He is notable for writing one of the first exposés of Alcatraz Prison, entitled Uncle Sam's Devil's Island, which told of his experience in the prison.[1] He committed suicide in Boston, Massachusetts on October 3, 1933 and was buried on October 20, 1933.
