Product Description I Could Not Repress A Sigh At The Thought Of The Havoc War Had Wrought In This Part Of England, At Least. Farther East, Nearer London, We Should Find Things Very Different. There Would Be The Civilization That Two Centuries Must Have Wrought Upon Our English Cousins As They Had Upon Us. There Would Be Mighty Cities, Cultivated Fields, Happy People. There We Would Be Welcomed As Longlost Brothers. There Would We Find A Great Nation Anxious To Learn Of The World Beyond Their Side Of Thirty, As I Had Been Anxious To Learn Of That Which Lay Beyond Our Side Of The Dead Line. ~ ~ ~ Edgar Rice Burroughs Created One Of The Most Iconic Figures In American Pop Culture, Tarzan Of The Apes, And It Is Impossible To Overstate His Influence On Entire Genres Of Popular Literature In The Decades After His Enormously Winning Pulp Novels Stormed The Public'S Imagination.
