The Mad Trapper - Wiebe, Rudy

Clean, tight, unmarked; slight wear to bottom back edge at spine; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; When it began, he was just another stranger without a name. When it ended, he was the most notorious criminal in North America, the object of the largest manhunt in RCMP history. This is the story of the Mad Trapper, a silent man of superhuman strength and endurance, who defied capture for 50 days in the bitter cold of winter north of the Arctic Circle. A man who crossed hundreds of miles of frozen tundra on foot ... who survived dynamite blasts and the pursuit of police, trappers, and the army ... who became the first man to cross the Richardson Mountains in a blizzard. In this fictionalized account of the life and death of the notorious Albert Johnson, aka the Mad Trapper, Rudy Wiebe draws on the history and the art of fiction to craft a compelling story of the hunted and the hunter.
