That Lord Greystoke interview you mention in Esquire magazine was heavily edited by both Phillip Jose Farmer and Esquire's editor. Now, how much truth do you believe remains? Besides, Phil Farmer protects Tarzan's identity just like ERB, the narrator. I will eventually show you a Tarzan chronology which changes only the Greystoke's sailing date to 1872 and the date on Jane's letter to 1893. Besides these two slight date changes, there are no other contradictions to Burroughs' provided information. That is far better than Korak not being Tarzan's born son, time warps, and different dimensions.
