19th Century Pennsylvania-born Quaker Josiah Harlan, Prince of Ghor (Afghanistan). He’s my second cousin quite a few times removed on my mother’s side of the family. The more I read about him, the more I feel he’s a kindred spirit. Restless in the times he lived in, definitely a non-conformist – he was a man who was never going to be a 9-5 white-collar office kind of guy; although that was very much the world he was born into. A man who reputedly inspired the main character in Rudyard Kipling's story The Man Who Would Be King.
