It was a manhunt that became part of Canadian folklore. Over the course of two months, Canadians were entranced by the pursuit of the Mad Trapper of Rat River. Some saw him as a hero, fighting against the federal government, while others saw him as a villain for his murder of an RCMP officer.
To this day, no one knows who he really was.
