John Stadig Escaped from Alcatraz New Sweden
Read about this notorious criminal in Daryl McBreairty's book entitled: Alcatraz Eel, The John Stadig Files
"With the Feds and media scrambling after him, John Millage Stadig established himself as the counterfeiter and escape artist to watch in 1930's America," said McBreairty. "Although Stadig did not escape Alcatraz by studying the feeding habits of the sharks in San Francisco Bay, he was one of the first civilian prisoners on the Rock."
Drawn from hundreds of pages of prison records, newspaper clippings and transcripts, Alcatraz Eel is an attempt at demythologizing the life of John Millage Stadig, a young man from Northern Maine, who, through his own genius and daring, became a folk hero and legend in a decade of criminals comprising the likes of Al Capone, John Dillinger, Ma Barker, Bonnie and Clyde, Roy Gardner and Machine Gun Kelly.
