Description: Alferd Packer's grave, located in Littleton Cemetery, Colorado, marks the final resting place of one of the most infamous figures in the state's history. Packer, a prospector and self-proclaimed guide, gained notoriety for his involvement in a grisly episode of cannibalism during the harsh winter of 1874. Leading a group of men through the San Juan Mountains, Packer and his companions became stranded and resorted to cannibalism to survive. He was later convicted of manslaughter and served 17 years in prison. Today, his grave in Littleton Cemetery serves as a macabre reminder of the desperate and dark moments of the American frontier, drawing curious visitors and history enthusiasts alike.
