Edgar Rice Burroughs

At the Earth's Core Illustrated Edgar Rice Burroughs

From the day he was born, in Chicago, on September 1, 1875, until he submitted one-half a novel to All-Story Magazine in 1911, Edgar Rice Burroughs(TM) failed in nearly every enterprise he tried. He attended half a dozen public and private schools before he finally graduated in 1895 from Michigan Military Academy, an institution Burroughs himself described as "a polite reform school."
