Lost on a Mountain in Maine

Young Donn Fendler, twelve years old and a Boy Scout from Rye, New York, thought the few steps down from the rocky summit of Mt. Katahdin would take him to his waiting father and brothers. He did not know he was about to begin a journey that would bring him close to death. Fighting off hallucinations, he crawled and stumbled on bleeding numbed feet for days along a stream he knew would lead downhill to civilization. He had no equipment and only a few berries and water for sustenance. His shoes and clothing became torn and lost. Here is a tale of excitement and inspirations, made all the more exhilarating because it was lived by a real person.
