The Left Handed Cannibal is the story of a common man who through uncommon desire and hard work made his dreams come true. From commando trailing in the Fijii Ilsands as a young man, to grafting mulberries on his Illinois farm during his middle years, to finishing his college degree at age 61, Myron Nixon lived an American success story that will never make the front pages but will endure because of its sincerity and warm simplicity.
