Alan Hanson Comments ERB-APA #10: A Reply

Enjoyed your views, and thanks for your response. I agree that Tarzan is a fictional character, but his adventures are still based in the real world and in a real-time frame. Therefore,Tarzan's life can be dated.

ERB-APA #10

Unlike you, I honestly believe the Tarzan series can be consistently chronologized in a broadly excepted manner. Probably not by one man, but by a combined effort. In this and the next issue of the ERB-APA I am going to present a chronology that has passed rigorous test after test. I invite you and John F. Roy to test my findings also. I am a Tarzan researcher speaking the truth and nothing more. If I don't present it fact-based you correct it.

If we address this subject I know we can come up with an accepted chronology. I am willing to supply the main framework and hopefully, you two will add your Tarzan lore to it.  I was very interested in your chronology. If you don't mind I would like to put yours through the same test as I put mine and report my findings in a future issue of the ERB-APA. Your Lost Years Of Tarzan concept hits upon one of my main interests. I am eagerly awaiting the appearance of that work.
