Burroughs' California ranch is now the center of Los Angeles' Tarzana neighborhood.
Literary career
Burroughs had his first story, Under the Moons of Mars, serialized by Frank Munsey in the All-Story's February to July 1912 issues, aiming to save his reputation. Burroughs received $400 ($11,232 today) after being on Mars under the Moons of Mars. After three Barsoom sequels appeared as serials and McClurg had published the first four serial Tarzan books as books, it was first published as a book by A. C. McClurg of Chicago in 1917.
Burroughs soon began writing full-time, and by the time the series of Under the Moons of Mars had concluded, he had written two books, including Tarzan of the Apes, which was one of his most popular series and published in October 1912.
In his Pellucidar stories, Burroughs also wrote popular science fiction and fantasy stories involving adventurers from Earth to various planets (including Barsoom, Burroughs' fictional name for Mars and Amtor, his fictional name for Venus), disappeared islands (Caspak), and then into the interior of the Hollow Earth. He also wrote Westerns and historical romances. Many of his stories were published in The Argosy newspaper, in addition to those that were not published in All-Story.
When Tarzan was first introduced, it was a cultural phenomenon. Burroughs was determined to cash in on Tarzan's fame in every way possible. He intended to abuse Tarzan in a variety of media, including a syndicated Tarzan comic strip, films, and merchandise. Experts in the field advised against taking this action, claiming that the various media platforms would just start competing against each other. Burroughs went on but proved the experts wrong – the public wanted Tarzan in whatever way he was offered. Tarzan is one of the most popular fictional characters to this day, and he is a cultural icon.
Burroughs bought a large ranch north of Los Angeles, California, which he named "Tarzana" in 1915 or 1919. When the family, Tarzana, California, was established in 1927, the residents of the neighborhood that grew up around the ranch voted to adopt the name. In addition, the unincorporated community of Tarzan, Texas, was officially named in 1927 when the US Postal Service accepted the name, reportedly steming from the success of the first (silent) Tarzan of the Apes film starring Elmo Lincoln and an early "Tarzan" comic strip.
Burroughs, 1923, formed Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., and began printing his own books into the 1930s.
