THE DANTON BURROUGHS LEGACY

Portrait of a young Danton Burroughs by his father, John Coleman Burroughs

DANTON BURROUGHS
(1944 - 2008)
Danton, son of John Coleman and Jane Burroughs
spent a lifetime honouring the life and works
of his Grandfather Edgar Rice Burroughs

Grandfather ERB's personal letter to young Danton
June 22 1944 ~ Master Danton Burroughs ~ Tarzana, California Dear Danton:
Just two years ago today your brother arrived when our world did not look too bright. But you come in on the crest of a victorious wave that is carrying us and our allies to successful ending of World War II much sooner than we had expected.
If your generation shows more intelligence than past generations, perhaps there will be no more wars. But that is almost too much to expect. However, there is a chance. You have been born into the greatest nation the world has ever known. Keep it great. Keep it strong. If you do, no country will dare to go to war if we say no.
Put this letter away and read it June 21st 1965. You will be of age then. See then if the politicians have kept your country great and strong. If they haven't, do something about it. If I'm around I'll remind you.

Good luck my boy, Your Grandfather ~ (sig) Edgar Rice Burroughs

I met Dan in Tarzana in the late 1990s.
He expressed his admiration for my ERB work on the Internet,
which I had done since 1996.
Shortly after this meeting, the Disney Tarzan contract was about to expire.
Dan asked if I would be willing to take over the Tarzan.com Website.

I agreed and together we worked on creating this site drawing upon
    rare, unique material in his possession
This involved many visits to the ERB, Inc. Tarzana office and
    to Dan's home and storage lockers
    where he shared an amazing collection of ERB treasures
    that had been handed down from his father, John Coleman.

This giant Website, along with Tarzan.org, was updated regularly with
info shared by Dan through our visits and hours-long telephone conversations.
These sites were active for over 20 years when ERB, Inc. turned them over
to their in-house Web designers who replaced them with entirely different material.

Meanwhile, I carried on with my ERBzine.com site and weekly ERBzine Webzine
as well as with many companion sites.
Danton was so pleased with the long hours I put into the sites that
we made an agreement/promise to keep carrying on with this work,
I have lived up to this promise ever since and created
many companion sites and over 15,000 Webpages.

My life has revolved around keeping Dan's dream and the ERB legacy alive.
This has meant devoting 8 to 16 hours every day thoughout all these years.
I have not missed a day of uploading ERB resources
and the Weekly ERBzine issue for almost 30 years.

This I have been able to do via Wi-Fi connections during our
travels all over North America, Europe, SE Asia, India, China and even hospital beds.

This ERB material is all in archive which has become
the largest single source of reference for any author.
Topics on every Webpage may be fully searched via our
Internal Google search feature in all our Archive pages:

In memory of Danton and the ERB Legacy I have also created
over 20 companion Websites and Social Media (Facebook & Twitter) accounts along the way.
