Correspondence between Edgar Rice Burroughs and Herbert Hungerford of "The American News Trade Journal." These letters lead up to an article by my grandfather in which he expresses his love of books and the collecting of books, as well as his views on book marketing. He also shares entertaining anecdotes about his early years as a bookstore owner in Pocatello, Idaho and as a door-to-door book salesman in Chicago and Oak Park. |

ERB References for the THE APACHE NOVELS I The War Chief ~ The Apache Devil Ed Burroughs drew upon his personal experiences from when he served as a trooper with the U.S. 7th Cavalry at Fort Grant, Arizona -- but -- since his Cavalry adventures took place 30 years earlier, to fill in gaps in his recollections he turned to his library to fill in details. Last month we shared a list of books and periodicals in the ERB Bio Time Line, which Ed cited as being the primary references he used in the writing of his Apache novels. We have completed our research on these volumes and the results are now displayed in this week's feature article. http://www.erbzine.com/mag11/1153.html |

 “Circumstances,
chiefly. I wasn’t long in finding out that keeping a family on retired
