Edgar Rice Burroughs was born in Chicago, but spent a great deal of time out of the state during the flu epidemic of 1891. In 1911, having worked a series of unfulfilling jobs, he began reading pulp fiction magazines and decided to attempt writing his own stories. When his first story, "Under the Moon of Mars," had finished its run as a serial in All-Story magazine, he had finished the first two Tarzan novels. Outside of this famous series, he also wrote in other genres and began printing his own books in the 1930s. He spent his last years as a war correspondent, and by the time of his death had written nearly seventy novels.
