Timeline
His father had been a major in the Union army during the Civil War. Edgar Rice Burroughs attended the Brown School then, due to a diphtheria epidemic, Miss Coolie's Maplehurst School for Girls, then the Harvard School, Phillips Andover and the Michigan Military Academy. He was a mediocre student and flunked his examination for West Point. He worked a variety of jobs all over the country: a cowboy in Idaho, a gold miner in Oregon, a railroad policeman in Utah, a department manager for Sears Roebuck in Chicago. He published "A Princess of Mars" under the title "Under the Moons of Mars" in six parts between February and July of 1912. The same "All-Story Magazine" put out his immediately successful "Tarzan of the Apes" in October of that year.
Two years later the hardback book appeared, and on January 27, 1918, the movie opened on Broadway starring Elmo Lincoln as Tarzan. It was one of the first movies to gross over $1,000,000.
Burroughs was able to move his family to the San Fernando Valley in 1919, converting a huge estate into Tarzana Ranch.
Daughter, Joan Burroughs, married actor James Pierce; who portrayed the Jungle Lord in TARZAN AND THE GOLDEN LION (Robertson-Cole Prod./Film Booking Office. 1927). The couple went on to portray Tarzan and Jane in the TARZAN Radio Series (1932-36).
He was in Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941 and remained in Hawaii as a war correspondent. Afterward he returned home with a heart condition.
Remained close with his ex stepdaughter Cindy Cullen until his death in 1950 much to the disappointment of her mother Florence Gilbert.
The Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., company offices are located on Ventura Blvd. in Tarzana (CA) and the setting is literally a jungle oasis housing memorabilia from the era of the Tarzan creator. His former home in Chicago's Oak Park, where he grew up, is still standing and a bronze marker noting this was placed in the front yard at 700 Linden Ave. on the 100th anniversary of his birth.
