To break up what would otherwise be pages of unrelieved text, image boxes with captions -- black text on orange backgrounds -- have been added by the NYCHS webmaster as design elements to the web pages of this presentation.

All rights to the added image box texts -- black type on orange backgrounds -- are reserved to and by NYCHS.


Above is an image of the front cover of the 232-page 1991 Spruce Gulch Press republication of Thomas Mott Osborne's historic Within Prison Walls, that D. Appleton & Co. of NY and London first published in 1915.

The cover (done by Walter Fogarty), introduction, publisher's note and other additional material in the 1991 republication are copyrighted by Spruce Gulch Press. NYCHS is honored by, and grateful for Spruce Gulch Press making available for this presentation its 1991 book.

Excerpts selected by NYCHS for this presentation convey the basic story and much of the rich narrative detail in the book. But these web pages are not offered as a substitute for a full reading of the complete work. Only that provides the sense of Tom Brown's total immersion into the dark world he experienced Within Prison Walls.
