William Montgomery McGovern

    William Montgomery McGovern was an American adventurer, professor, anthropologist, and journalist whose life may have inspired the character of Indiana Jones. By age thirty, he had already explored the Amazon, braved uncharted regions of the Himalayas, survived revolution in Mexico, studied at Oxford and the Sorbonne, and become a Buddhist priest. He later became a celebrated lecturer, war correspondent, and military strategist, renowned for speaking twelve languages and his eccentric public persona.
