The Mad Trapper: The Incredible Tale of Canada¹s Famous Manhunt
By Hélèna Katz

In one of the largest manhunts in Canada, members of the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police, aided by trappers, tracked the elusive Albert Johnson for
240 kilometres across the frozen Arctic. The wily fugitive¹s stamina and
wilderness skills helped him evade his pursuers for nearly seven weeks, in a
chase that gripped the attention of a continent during the winter of 1932.
It was during this manhunt that police used an airplane and two-way radios
for the first time. In The Mad Trapper: The Incredible Tale of Canada¹s
Famous Manhunt, author Hélèna Katz takes readers to the scene of four
shootouts with police, where one man lost his life and two others were
seriously wounded. (HK0001)
