Alice Zwicker was the only service woman from Maine to be a
prisoner of the enemy in either of the two World Wars. But there is
more to the story than that. Across the nation, wherever one of the
seventy-seven Angels of Bataan returned home, there was a hero's
welcome. Those Army and Navy nurses had shown what American women
could do and be, even in times of defeat. This is Alice's story:
her growing up in a small Maine town, her commitment to the
profession of nursing, and her immersion in World War II. There was
Manila, Bataan, Corregidor, and then three long, hungry years when
she was held prisoner by the Japanese. For Alice, the terrible
legacy of war did not end with her liberation from internment camp,
or even with her coming home. When victory finally arrived for
Alice, it was achieved in her own soul.
A fictional Maine guide who won many friends and admirers through
the pages of Field & Stream magazine in the 1920s and '30s, Dud
Dean is very much a product of his creator. Arthur Macdougall was
an avid outdoorsman and a minister in Bingham, Maine, a tiny town
perched on the reaches of the mighty Kennebec River. The tales in
this book were compiled by Macdougall's son, Walter.
Walk the glens and hills of the highlands with Walter Marshall
Macdougall, enthusiastic tourist, investigative researcher, and
spirited Highlander. With kinsfolk and friends, including the 30th

Scottish kin, the author's dream of journeying to MacDougall
Country became a reality. In Journeying in MacDougall Country, his
journal notes and sketches are supplemented with maps, historical
notes, and geographical information to form a unique illustrated

people. "This beautifully written book should give tremendous
pleasure to many." ~ Coline MacDougall of MacDougall, 30th Chief.
