4.9/5 (33642 ratings)

Description:Mention the name John Stadig today, and there would be little response, but in 1930s America his name was ubiquitous. For weeks at a time, John Stadig was in the headlines in Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Oregon and Las Vegas, Nevada. The wire services picked up these stories, and his name was known all over North America. John Stadig was first arrested in Connors, New Brunswick, Canada, for counterfeiting American Bank Notes in 1930. After a short stay in a local prison, he traveled across America, spreading counterfeit bills wherever he went. In November of 1931, he was arrested in Las Vegas and spent a year in prison at Carson City. Released on parole in December 1932, with the stipulation that he was to return to his hometown of St. Francis, Maine, Stadig hid out at his mother’s home in Connors, New Brunswick for a number of months. On October 30, 1933, he was arrested in Chicago on counterfeiting charges, but escaped from U. S. Marshals on the way to court. Now the press and the Secret Service were on his trail. After a number of arrests and escapes, he is placed on Alcatraz in the first shipment of civilian prisoners to be incarcerated there in 1934. After volunteering to plead guilty to counterfeiting charges at Portland, Oregon, Stadig escapes from Federal Marshals and is not recaptured for a week. In small towns in Northern Maine and Western New Brunswick, as well as the enclaves in New England and across the continent where families from Northern Maine and Western New Brunswick have settled, the legend and mythology of John Stadig is still talked about. Drawn from hundreds of pages of prison records, newspaper files and interviews with people who knew him, Alcatraz Eel, The John Stadig Files is a soft bound (as originally published) 6 ¾ by 9 ¾ inch nonfiction account consisting of 383 pages of text accompanied by numerous photographs.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
