Minor wear on cover-interior tight and unmarked-" What a fantastic read. The account of the Mad Trapper of Rat River is one of the most famous Canadian Police Stories. It's the story of one of the longest Police Chases in Canadian History. A chase that took place in the Canadian Arctic during one of the coldest winters recorded. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police set out to capture Albert Johnson after he had wounded one RCMP officer and killed another. The story has become one of legend. For years no one knew the identity of this infamous criminal. Dick North has spent many years researching this story. After all this time he believes he has finally found Albert Johnson's true identity. I would highly recommend that you purchase this book. You will not be disappointed."-G. McMillan
