Postcard: Packer, Alfred |
| Description |
Caption: "The Wax Museum; 919 Bannock Street, Denver, Colorado. The Colorado Maneater. A bizarre episode in Colorado history was the cannibalism of Alfred Packer. Heavy snows immobilized a gold prospecting party in the high country. Packer, with five others, set out for a nearby Indian agency, but Packer arrived alone. Although evidence was conflicting, he was convicted of killing all five victims and eating their flesh.” This postcard is undated. |
