Untitled[edit]

Regarding the mysterious death of Harvey Logan and the rumour of his having gone to Bolivia: In Percy Harrison Fawcett's writings this explorer (who himself disappeared mysteriously in the forests of the Amazon) mentions an encounter with a "Harvey, the shootist" in September 1907 at a place in Bolivia called Rurenabaque. Fawcett described this man as somebody worth to listen to. Harvey had been a "real bandit" and supposedly was still quite fast with his colt when meeting Fawcett. Since there was a reward on his capture Harvey had had to flee to Mexico from where he moved to Southamerica and finally Bolivia. "He knew every mining town along the west coast", wrote Fawcett and mentions some hair raising encounters which Harvey supposedly had had with local soldiers. I wonder if this Harvey could be Harvey Logan.

Mythbusters[edit]

Should it be noted that Harvey Logan was mentioned during the Exploding Lighter episode of MythBusters?
Part of this segment was based on the myth that Logan could draw and fire a revolver five times before a silver dollar fell from the back of his other hand. Shuckiduck 06:29, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Death[edit]

"Curry decided to end it at that time." This is ambiguous. Does it mean he committed suicide? If so, say so.Tsuguya (talk) 13:22, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone have information on Roll Gardner. Seems like he deserves credit for killing him. True Curry said he was going to end it. but he stated he was shot pretty bad, and he thought he would die, so he ended it. (Pershinboy)18:42, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I have been trying to reach you for a few years. I have researched Jimmer and Lucy Thornhill for many years and in doing that, Harvey Logan showed up and I have more information on him than has ever been printed. I don't believe at least 60 percent of what is said about him and find that he was a complex man with at least as much good as bad. Maybe just more honest about that than most of us. I have written a historical novel series on the Thornhills and thru many interviews with their family have also gained much information on the Logan Brothers. I have been asked to write a Historic Novel on them by Lonie's descendants and the Lee family of cousins that raised the Logan Brothers. I am very interested in touching base with you.I have seen many of you posts and can never get through to you. Please, contact me. I'd like to rewrite the crooked way it has been told and I believe I can do it for Harvey the same way I did it for Jimmer and Lucy Thornhill. 2001:5B0:45CC:1C8:C59C:AD3A:D31C:F31C (talk) 04:16, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
