Indy Jones based on ?????????????

Posted by Allan E. Levine from cache2.storm.ca on January 10, 2001 at 01:59:37:

Hi!

I have read a few of your postings and want to add something if I may: one of the curators at the Am Mus of Natural History in NYC said Indy was based on Andrews; however, the daughter of Dr. Tillson Lever Harrison, soldier of fortune, claims Lucas based Indy on her father. Harrison was certainly in a lot of the places listed in the Indy and Young Indy website, which I seem to have misplaced during a computer changeover.

Not to be forgotten is someone else with an incredible career, James Mackenzie ("Mac") Young, who was invaluable to Andrews and Granger & Shackelford & the other players in Mongolia (q.v.). Mac was Canadian-born, had RCMP & USMC Service, and was part of the Legation Guard in Peking when Andrews hired him. a decade later, Young committed suicide under mysterious conditions in northern CA.

I would appreciate the opportunity to share info on these topics with anyone reading this posting. Many thanks

Allan
