Description:
Robert W. Fenton's 1967 biography of Edgar Rice Burroughs has long been out of print, but it reappears from McFarland as a wonderful source for a new generation of readers. Burroughs' early years were far from promising -- he was dropped from school, undistinguished himself as a cavalryman at Fort Grant, lost out in gold mining, and had little success as a salesman. He knew nothing about writing, but decided to try it anyway -- and created Tarzan, one of the most famous characters of all time. ERB wrote 25 sequels and 40 other novels.
