The Planetary Society Discover John Carter
John Carter and the Giant of MarsDear Mr. Hillman:
I'm collecting photos that illustrate the way humanity thought about Mars before we actually visited with spacecraft. This is for the next issue of our magazine The Planetary Report, which is published six times a year by the Planetary Society, a non-profit public membership organization dedicated to increasing interest in space exploration and the search for extraterrestrial life.I ran across your "Edgar Rice Burroughs: an Illustrated Chrono-log 1941" while researching his John Carter books. I'd love to use one of the images (attached)...
Sincerely,
Donna Stevens
associate editor

I have added three more adapted etexts to
Alan's Edgar Rice Burroughs Page
(catchy title, eh?!) at
http://www.geocities.com/boomcoach/erb/
If you have linked to the page with a different address, the old address should still work.This page started when I was unable to find a copy of At the Earth's Core, so I downloaded the Project Gutenberg text version. Unfortunately, I hate reading plain text, so I converted it to HTML, for easier reading. I then thought I would try converting the rest of the etexts to HTML. I have added Pellucidar and A Princess of Mars, as well as Sax Rohmer's Insidious Dr. Fu Manchu (OK, it's not ERB, but it is a pulp book and I couldn't find a copy, so once again I grabbed the etext.)
The next books I plan to convert are the Caspak novels (the whole series is available on Gutenberg.) Following that I will work on the non-series books, and other pulp/adventure books that seem interesting. Gulliver of Mars is available, as are several more of the Mars books.
The attached image is my family. I am the chubby guy in the middle. My daughter, Sarina is almost done with the Mars series, and has read several other ERB works. She has liked most of them, although not Tarzan, not sure why. My son has not started them yet and my wife is sadly ERB-deficient, but has other good qualities <grin>.
I do not mean to ignore the Tarzan novels, but they are still readily available in any library or bookstore. If you have any comments, email me at awinterrowd@parlorcity.com
Von Horst's Pellucidar is the most comprehensive Pellucidar site on the web. Debuting Christmas day, 1998, it attempts to capture "all things Pellucidar". The site's organization makes manoeuvring easy and it is loaded with sights and sounds like Frazetta pictures and thipdar and jalok screams.
The site opens with an introduction to the inner world followed by links to the book summaries. Each book page has publishing information, cover scans, and a brief plot summary. The glossary pages are invaluable and Von has these organized by Geography, Characters, Tribes, and Beasts. Visit the Gallery for Pellucidar paintings by Frazetta, St John, Jusko, and Boris. Reviews of Pellucidar pastiches, movies, and comics are all here as well as links to other Pellucidar sites. Journey 500 miles down to Von Horst's Pellucidar. It's the next best thing to being there. Gilaks welcome.
About the webmaster: Lieutenant Frederich Wilhelm Eric von Mendeldorf und von Horst's first memories are of being suckled by a she-wolf as a babe and later running with the Translopians under the midnight moon. He was captured and "tamed" by Count Elobius, who raised and educated him in the finest schools of Bresklo. He later served in the German army, advancing to the rank of Lieutenant. He jumped at the chance to serve under Captain Zuppner on the O-220; destination Pellucidar!
Von Horst's current whereabouts in Pellucidar are unknown but he makes occasional contact with the Warlord of Virginia via Gridley Wave and plans to make a trip to the surface for ECOF 2000.
