About Edgar Rice Burroughs

(1875-1950) The Chicago-born creator of one of the best-loved (and often parodied) adventure characters, "Tarzan of the Apes," Edgar Rice Burroughs had also been a soldier, a business executive, a gold miner, a cowboy, and a policeman. After writing "Tarzan" in 1914, he produced more than 20 sequels which were translated into more than 50 languages, and which formed the basis of dozens of films. In 1917, Burroughs also created the character of John Carter of Mars, plus many other adventure tales with a science fiction theme.
