In this Aug. 2, 1939, photo, Donn Fendler, 12, his feet still bandaged from his days alone in the Maine woods, waves from the back of an automobile as he is honored in his hometown of Rye, N.Y. PORTLAND, Maine - Donn Fendler, who as a boy survived nine days alone on Maine's tallest mountain in 1939 and later wrote a book about the ordeal, has died at 90. Fendler collaborated with Joseph B. Egan on a book, Lost on a Mountain in Maine , which was required reading for many fourth-graders in Maine. He also enjoyed visiting schools to tell his story.
