Joshua Edgar Carrington Turner, was a contemporary of Jim Corbett and spent many years in Kumaon, in the employ of the Indian Forest Service (IFS). He retired in 1955 and wrote of his experiences in the book, "Man Eaters and Memories" (1959).
This story, taken from the same book, recounts the author's experience with a man-eating tiger while on official duty in the forest divisions of Kumaon. Of particular note is the author's speculative interest towards the end in understanding the reasons that lead to the frequent emergence of man-eaters in the subdivision of Kumaon.
