From our Arieana Notebook: Soon after the death of *Kismet, Randolph Huntington was back to negotiating with Reverend F. Furse Vidal for the purchase of the two *Kismet's sons, *Nimr and *Garaveen, along with Naomi's daughter and *Nimr's dam *Nazli. These three horses arrived in the United States on June 28, 1893, accompanied this time on their voyage by Reverend Vidal. The list of *Garaveen's owners quickly changes after his arrival and records are sketchy as to who and when, but various correspondence, articles, and registration records show him as being owned by: R.F. or T.H. Downing, J.A.P. Ramsdell, Mrs. Adolph Ladenburg, Spencer Borden, and Homer Davenport. We do know *Garaveen spent his last years in Virginia siring half-Arabians, but the exact date of his death is unknown. (Source: Mulder, Carol June Woodbridge.
