Omschrijving
A calaboose is, quite simply, a tiny jail. Designed to house prisoners only for a short time, a calaboose could be anything from an iron cage to a poured concrete blockhouse. In The Texas Calaboose and Other Forgotten Jails, William E. Moore has compiled the first guidebook to extant calabooses in Texas.
William E. Moore is an archaeologist, a consultant, and the owner of Brazos Valley Research Associates in Bryan, Texas. He is the author of several books, including Bastrop County, 1691–1900, as well as articles in local and national magazines. He lives in Bryan.
