Home Author Index Shakespeare The Bible ... Chapter 10 The Land that Time Forgot Search all of The Land that Time Forgot Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) was a prodigiously productive writer of pulp fictionsliterary entertainments, that is, published in inexpensive, easily obtained periodicals. His style was simple and instantly accessible, his stories riveting if often implausible tales of adventure, and of good overcoming evil. Burroughs wasn't much of an artist. But, as Mike Resnick writes in his introduction to this commemorative edition of Burroughs's immensely popular trilogy The Land That Time Forgot, first published in 1924, almost every book Burroughs wrote remains in print, and countless readers turn to his Mars and Tarzan novels every day. In Land, Burroughs concocts a fabulous microworld, located somewhere in the South Pacific, called Caspak. On this mountainous island live winged, humanlike creatures, dinosaurs, ferocious beasts of prey, Neanderthals, "wild ape-men," and monstrous reptiles; they terrorize each other, to say nothing of the mixed crew of World War I-era adventurers who inadvertently land on a Caspakian beach and fight their way across the island, dining on Plesiosaurus steaks and having a grand old time in the company of a jungle princess. The story streaks onward like a bullet toward its surprise ending, and it's pure fun all the way.

After his graduation from the Michigan Military Academy, he joined the U.S. Cavalry for a tour of duty in Arizona in 1896. He was not suited to this life and, thanks to his father's wealth and position, he left the military the following year. He briefly owned a stationary store in Idaho before moving back to Chicago and a position with the American Battery Company. Burroughs married Emma Centennia Hulbert on January 1, 1900;.....

Edgar Rice Burroughs - (1875-1950) Pocatello By Darren Crosby Advanced English III Emmett High School, Emmett ID Tarzan's God If you were to mention the name of Edgar Rice Burroughs in a conversation, you might receive a response resembling, "Who? Oh yes, wasn't he a poet or something?" However, if you were to mention "Tarzan," instant recognition would greet you. Although Burroughs was the creator of the famous character, Tarzan, it seems he receives little recognition today unless it is in connection with Tarzan. Although Burroughs' Tarzan novels were his claim to fame, there is much more to him than is commonly known. I. Personal and Professional Biography Burroughs was born on September 1, 1875, in Chicago, the fourth son of George Tyler and Mary Evelyn Burroughs. His father was the owner of a battery company, and the family was quite wealthy ( Contemporary Authors 54). Little is known of Burroughs' early childhood because, for unexplained reasons, Burroughs refused to publicly recall much of anything before the age of 12 (Eaton 12). Burroughs' well- documented history began in 1890 when he was shipped by his parents to his brother's Idaho cattle ranch. As his record shows, Burroughs' parents were paranoid regarding illnesses and arranged to have him moved there after an epidemic known as La Grippe began in Chicago. Edgar wasn't the first Burroughs to be sent there. Two of his older brothers, George Jr. and Harry, had been advised to move there several years previously due to battery fume poisoning, which was supposedly making them ill.

"There is a vast difference between seeing life and living life," he once said. From remote Mars to the deep North African jungle, ERB created over 90 tales of fantasy and imagination , celebrating the enduring spirit of mankind. "Psychologists tell me that... too close a scrutiny of my mental activities might prove anything but flattering," he wrote in Warlord of Mars (1913), one of the 11 John Carter of Mars books , a popular pulp fiction series. David Innes in the Inner World and Carson Napier on Venus were more of his creations. "I write to escape ... to escape poverty," he once joked and chose writing after drifting in and out of a kaleidoscope of menial jobs and failed business ventures. Burroughs penned one of fiction's most memorable characters, Tarzanthe son of Lord Greystoke who was abandoned in Africa and raised by apes. "I find I can

Edgar Rice Burroughs "Pine no more my lassie My little lad be gay! For we’re going back To our own Tarzana Ranch To our own Tarzana Ranch far away" from a tune written by Edgar Rice Burroughs about his ranch home [This biographical profile is based largely on the book Tarzan Forever: The Life of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Creator of Tarzan by John Taliaferro, 1999, Scribners.] With his fondness for fantasy, his high regard for real estate, and his confidence that the movies would make him wealthy, Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) was the perfect immigrant to early 20 th century Los Angeles. First and foremost, Edgar Rice Burroughs was the creator of Tarzan. He also created other pulp fiction heroes, but none with the staying power of his jungle superman. In his time, which covered the second, third and fourth decades of the last century, only Western writer Zane Grey came close to equaling Burroughs in popularity. Millions read his stories in magazines. Additional millions bought his books, 74 in all. Tarzan’s adventures could be tracked in Sunday comic strips, radio serials, and, of course, the movies. And then there was Edgar Rice Burroughs the real estate developer – most notably, the founder of Tarzana, the San Fernando Valley community created when Burroughs sub-divided part of his 550-acre ranch bearing the same name.

After graduating from the Michigan Military Academy in 1895, Burroughs served a brief, unhappy stint in U.S. Cavalry. Burroughs put his military career behind him and worked a series of odd jobs in the early 1900s including railroad policeman, partner of an advertising agency, and manager of the stenographic department at Sears, Roebuck and Co. Facing serious financial trouble, at the age of 35 Burroughs decided to try his hand at writing pulp fiction. He sold his first story, "Under the Moons of Mars" to

EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS American author (1875-1950) Biography: Son of a wealthy family, Edgar Rice Burroughs was educated in private schools in Chicago. From 1897 to 1911, he tried to work in numerous but unsuccessful jobs and business ventures. After getting married and having three children, he began writing advertising and then he turned to fiction. In 1911, he published his first piece, Under the Moon of Mars , in the adventure magazine All-Story. It was so successful that he turned to writing full-time. In 1912, the first Tarzan story appeared, narrating the adventures of this son of an English nobleman abandoned in the African jungle during infancy and adopted and raised by a tribe of great apes. In 1914, Burroughs publishes Tarzan of Apes , and the character instantly captured the popular fancy. Burroughs ultimately published 68 titles in all, from which 25 are about Tarzan. His Tarzan stories were translated to more than 50 languages and were also popular in comic-strip, motion-picture, television and radio versions.
