Lost on a Mountain in Maine by Donn Fendler
Lost on a Mountain in Maine
by Donn Fendler (as told to Joseph B. Egan)
This gripping true story recounts how twelve-year-old Donn Fendler became separated from his hiking group on Mount Katahdin, Maine’s highest peak, in the summer of 1939. Lost in fog and rugged wilderness, Donn survives alone for nine days, drawing on courage, resourcefulness, and what he has learned as a Boy Scout. Told from his own perspective, the book follows his struggle to find food, shelter, and a way back to civilization—an inspiring tale of endurance, resilience, and hope that has captivated readers for generations.
