!!! BREAKING NEWS IN TARZANA !!!
DEVELOPMENT OF ERB'S HOMESITE HAS BEEN HALTED!
Apparently there was a "prehistoric find" on the land (is that serendipitous or what?!). The developers have been forced to shut down while it is evaluated.(More to come...)
1. Classic ERB Covers
Deep Secrets: The Discovery and Exploration of Lechuguilla Cave
This cave offers everyone a chance to explore ERB worldsPellucidar -- Pellucidar was a subterranean world in several stories written by Edgar Rice Burroughs. It first appeared in “At the Earth's Core” (1914). This area became well-known as the site of the of subaqueous helictites discovered by Donald G. Davis. The room is accessed via a steep climb out of the Fortress of Chaos.
https://www.pellucidar.org/Barsoom -- This balcony lies above Pellucidar. The name Barsoom also comes from the fantasies of Edgar Rice Burroughs, and was his name for Mars.

4. OUR MAILBAG
Dear Mr. Hillman:I am working on an exhibit that will travel in celebration of Dr. Jane Goodall's 40 years of primate research in Gombe/Tanzania. Interestingly enough, her inspiration for going to Africa to study chimps came from her reading TARZAN as a child. I hope to write to Dr. Goodall tonight to find out what edition she might have read. I would like to use an illustration from an edition of a similar vintage in the exhibit. Can you offer me some insight on how this could be possible? I would be very grateful if you could respond as quickly as possible so that I can begin. Jane is in her early 60's now so I imagine that she was reading Tarzan books in 1940's, but the edition could have been printed earlier. Thank you so much for your wisdom in this matter.

Dear Mr. Hillman,I am working on a book entitled Literary Chicago: A Book Lover's Guide to the Windy City. It will be published by a small Chicago publisher, Lake Claremont Press, later this year. I plan to have a section on Edgar Rice Burroughs. I am very impressed with the level of detail you have on your site (you certainly are a devoted fan!) and am wondering if I can obtain permission to use a few details in my book. Primarily I want to mention his house addresses in Chicago and Oak Park, and his office address in Oak Park. Obviously, I would give you credit in the book and list your Web site URL.
In addition, could you possibly make copies of photos available? It's quite possible I can get them here (I'm going to the Oak Park Historical Society tomorrow, in fact; they currently have an exhibit on Burroughs), but thought I would ask. I assume there would be a fee for this, and am wondering what would be involved (I need real glossy prints that can be used in the book).
Thanks for your consideration,
Greg Holden

2000.03.07
Nikko says 'don't feed the monkeys'
TOKYO (AP) - The central Japanese tourist town of Nikko is fed up with monkey-feeding tourists. "Don't feed the monkeys," warns a first-of-its-kind ordinance submitted to Nikko's assembly Monday. Troops of wild macaques are among the area's best-known attractions, along with a 318-foot waterfall and a shrine that is the burial place of the 16th century shogun who unified Japan. The Toshogu shrine features three of the world's famous monkeys: statues of the see-no-evil, hear-no-evil, speak-no-evil trio. But Nikko's real-life simians are causing their share of evil - damaging property and occasionally biting people while scavenging for food. Government officials blame doting tourists for teaching the monkeys to accept handouts.
For Nkima's side of the story see:

http://www.erbzine.com/mag3/0305.htmlSeeing the Mahar 6. Collecting ERB by Glen Eradi
By NkimaI dream the dream of the Mahar,
The deep dweller of Pellucidar.She appears to me in dark dragon caverns;
I cannot speak as she unfolds her wings.
Old Burroughs knew enough to place her there,
Swimming beneath the hollow springs
To enlighten us of the hidden lair.I go down to listen to the silence of the Mahars.
She fans the air with the nothing that is there.Our shadows lay against the rock
In the core of Pellucidar.
There is no use for tears
Where the tomb is familiar.Human companions stand close together
Fingering stone-age spears, castaways
Gazing at the Mahar
As she swallows up their gaze.In the darkness of the dream dwells the Mahar.
She is the damp reptilian brain
That snaps up the maiden
To sip her terror without pain.We are in the dream of the Mahar.
She sends our shadows across the rock,
Bidding a presence we cannot mock.Beyond the cave, light eternal fares,
Yet we are drawn down to all the Mahar owns,
(Puny heroic warrior drones)
Stick-men captured by old dragon schemes
That sleep within the night of our nightmares
And dream our deepest dreams.
Old Burroughs knew enough to look into the face
of the Mahar;
He sees her waving wings at the core.
While we are yet blind and dumb,
He leads us through a secret door.Burroughs knew enough to shove the Mahar
Into the edges of the kingdom,
Yet he knew another wisdom;
The Mahar is always there.There is no doubt that the Earth is hollow
And filled with every ancient thing.
We close our eyes and see but threads,
A darkened cave, a central sun,
But to find the Mahar
We have to circumnavigate our heads
And redistribute the bones of our skeleton.
