Albert Johnson (criminal)

Albert Johnson (c. 1890–1900 – 17 February 1932), also known as the Mad Trapper of Rat River, was a fugitive, whose actions stemming from a trapping dispute eventually sparked a huge manhunt in the Northwest Territories and Yukon in Northern Canada. The event became a media circus as Johnson eluded the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) team sent to take him into custody, which ended after a 240 km (150 mi) pursuit lasting more than a month and a shootout in which Johnson was fatally wounded on the Eagle River, Yukon.
