Today we will be covering the story that led to the book; Lost on a Mountain In Maine by survivor Donn Fendler with the help of an adult since he was 12 at the time. Donn got lost on Mt Katahdin in Maine when he headed down the trail by himself to find his father under poor weather conditions and walked off the path. He was underprepared and had to fight with everything he had to survive for nine days. His story gripped the nation, the equivalent of going viral in today’s terms.
