The Case of Alfred Packer, The Man-Eater is a non-fiction book written by Paul H. Gantt. The book is about the infamous case of Alfred Packer, who was accused of murdering and cannibalizing his fellow travelers during a winter expedition in the Colorado Rockies in 1874. The book provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the crime, the trial, and the aftermath. Gantt uses primary sources such as court transcripts, newspaper articles, and personal accounts to reconstruct the events of the case. He also provides historical context to help readers understand the social and cultural factors that influenced the case. The book explores the different theories and interpretations of the case, including the possibility that Packer was wrongly accused and the victim of a biased justice system. Gantt also delves into the psychological and sociological factors that may have contributed to Packer's actions. Overall, The Case of Alfred Packer, The Man-Eater is a fascinating and in-depth look at one of the most notorious cases in American history. It will appeal to anyone interested in true crime, American history, or the human psyche.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
