WAS JOHNSON DEAF?
"I have read about the trapper Johnson they should of left him alone and all the trouble would not have happened.They went to his cabin with no proof that he had anything to do with foul play on somebody's trap line, from what I have read that is how they got rid of trappers who they didn't want in the area in those times, if he was a cold blooded killer he would have shot and killed both RCMP the second time they showed up. He had no right to shoot anyone, what he endured in the chase was unbelievable, the airplane brought supplies to the pursuers, Albert lived off the environment, without the plane they would have had a much harder time catching him. It's a very sad story."
