Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) was an American writer of adventure stories. He is best known for his Tarzan books but wrote nearly 80 novels in various series and genres.
While working as a pencil sharpener wholesaler, Burroughs read numerous pulp magazines and felt he could write something just as good. His first attempt was called "Under the Moons of Mars" and sold for $400. Five years after being serialized in the February through July 1912 issues of The All-Story, it was published in book form as A Princess of Mars.
A Princess of Mars was the first book in Burroughs' Barsoom series, which remains second only to Tarzan in popularity.
This book is in the Deseret Alphabet, a phonetic alphabet for the writing of English developed in the 1850s and 1860s at the University of Deseret, now the University of Utah.
