About the references

Aren't the two references by Macintyre referring to the same book, just with different titles? I think the book was published with a differen title in the US than my UK(?) copy. The full title of the first reference is Josiah the Great: The True Story of the Man Who Would Be King. Havard 13:33, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Death?

How did he die? It isn't mentioned in the article. I would have thought this was a necessary part of a biographical article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 137.122.200.251 (talk) 05:13, 7 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Also, "Harlan now proposed to raise a regiment" ... and then what? What happened to that regiment? This article is not complete!

I don't have any sources on hand, so I won't be contributing, but from memory:

Harlan's regiment performed well, although his officers attempted to carry out a mutiny, which the soldiers defeated. He then travelled out west, eventually dying as a doctor in California, his possessions containing a priceless carved ruby, a golden sword, and the papers proclaiming him the Prince of Ghor. Along the way, he attempted to import camels to the US.

If I get my hands on a copy of Mackintyre's book again, I'll update the article with the information. Timothy Kew 212.159.30.215 21:59, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Date of Death

If the external link to an online biography is correct, Mr. Harlan died on October 21, 1871 in San Francisco, California.
