In the winter of 1873, a small band of prospectors lost
their way in the frozen wilderness of the Colorado Rockies.
Months later, when the snow finally melted, only one of them
emerged. His name was Alfred G. Packer, though he would soon
become infamous throughout the country under a different
name: “the Man-Eater.” After the butchered remains of his five traveling companions
were discovered in a secluded valley by the Gunnison River,
Packer vanished for nine years, becoming the West’s most
wanted man. What followed was a saga of evasion and
retribution as the trial of the century worked to extricate
fact from myth and Polly Pry, a once-famed pioneering
journalist, took on the cause of Packer. Man-Eater is the
definitive story of a legendary crime—a gripping tale of
unspeakable suffering, the desperate struggle for survival,
and the fight to uncover the truth.
