Harold Schechter was an author that I got interested in because a couple of his books were on The Last Podcast On The Left reading list. I really enjoy his work, and this one was no exception. The only complaint that I have is that is was a little tedious in comparison to the others I have read. I am not sure why I feel this way, but I do. This book featured the crimes of Alfred Packer, who went into the Rocky Mountains of Colorado to do some prospecting with five other men. He was the only one who made his way back to town alive. His story was that they had ran out of food, and began eating each other, with him ultimately killing the last surviving man in self defense and eating him. There have been many instances where this type of cannibalism has occurred, but there was something about his tale that seemed off to many people. It was interesting to see how they finally brought him to trial and the outcome of it. I would recommend this book, though I do like other works by this author better.
