Alfred Packer! (the subject of the guess who quatrain) I read about
him in a book of "strange and mysterious events in US history."
(Scholastic Publishing used to be full of weird stuff like this
that you could mail order.) Anyway, they said that at one point
students at Harvard had campaigned to call one of their dining
halls the Alfred Packer Memorial Dining Hall until someone in admin
did the research. Even if urban legend, it's a great story.
