Harlan, a Chester County native, was the first American to enter Afghanistan. His incredible adventures in the wilds of India and Afghanistan as a spy, a general, and as a king of a mountain tribe in the Hindu Kush were the inspiration for Rudyard Kipling's short story "The Man Who Would Be King." Harlan's journey and how he managed to stay alive will be the subject of Snider’s presentation.
