[edit] Lifetime
"born October 12, 1812 (according to his gravestone which also gives his first name as John) and died October 25, 1860, although many reports offer October 20, 1807 as his date of birth. (Correct if he was 53 when he died.)"
Something can't be right in this sentence, either even if 1807 should mean 1870, a death at 53 would be wrong (it would be 58 then, in the other case 48)

[edit] Death discrepency?
At first glance, the cause of his fatal head wound seems to be attributed to both The General and some monkey:
"Although never fatal, by the fourth time the General severely injured James Adams' head, it left his brain exposed.
Adams died at about 53 years of age of meningitis from the open head wound that resulted from an accident while training a monkey on tour with P.T. Barnum in 1860."
Are both of these injuries correct or only one? This should be clarified at the least 198.175.55.6 (talk) 03:28, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
