rdfs:comment
  • Dr. John Reid was a professor at Barnett College, in the geology department. While trained as a geologist, he fancied himself quite the archaeologist. On his untrained recommendation, Dr. Mulbray purchased a Mexican statue, which Indiana Jones later proved to be a fake, by breaking it to show the cross-section. Marcus Brody didn't think highly of Reid and couldn't see what the geology department had had in mind when they selected him.
  • John Reid (d. 1816) was an aide to General Andrew Jackson through much of the War of 1812, including the Creek War. After the war, Reid began a biography of Jackson, but died before its completion. Reid's extensive correspondence during his time as Jackson's aide has provided valuable insight into Jackson's character.
