Fred Beck

Alfred "Fred" Beck (July 22, 1888 - June 1, 1972) was an American miner who reported, along with four other members of his party, being attacked by crypto-hominids in July 1924 near Spirit Lake in Washington state (an area now called Ape Canyon), an event he later detailed in a 1967 booklet entitled "I Fought the Apemen of Mt. St. Helens."
