Dr. Henry "Indiana" Jones, Jr. (born July 1, 1899), also known as Indy, is a fictional professor, archaeologist, and adventurer [1]. Jones is notable for his trademark bullwhip, fedora, leather jacket, and fear of snakes. He is also the son of Professor Henry Jones, Sr. In his younger days, Henry, Jr. was in the boy scouts, and that is where he found a love of archaeology, trying to recover the Cross of Coronado from people whom he suspected to be grave robbers. Indiana Jones and Marion Ravenwood Williams has a son named Henry Jones III (a.k.a. Mutt Williams). The nickname "Indiana" is said to have come from the name of a dog.
Miscellaneous facts
- Many early books and movie serials mixed adventure with ancient civilisations, and maybe has its origins in the literary movement known as "Gothic"[2]. The heroes in these "archaeological adventures" have included Professor Challenger[3], Captain Nemo[4], Tarzan [5], Ace Drummond [[6] and Tintin[7]. The works of Rider Haggard[8], such as King Solomon's Mines and "She", were also very influential on this whole sub-genre.
