==History==
Edgar Rice Burroughs had failed at a number of jobs prior to becoming a writer<ref>http://www.tarzan.org/official_biography_part2.html</ref>. During his last job as a pencil sharpener salesman, he read the many pulp magazines that his advertisements were placed in, and began writing several stories which were eventually published; among them was ''A Princess of Mars'' for ''All-Story'' Magazine in 1911, the foundation of his Martian stories featuring protagonist John Carter, and for which he was paid $400 dollars<ref>http://www.tarzan.org/official_biography_part3.html</ref>. Having found a niche that he liked - and encouraged by his publisher - he began the first of what would become a series of twenty-five novels featuring Tarzan.
