David Adams Comments ERB-APA #73: A Reply

David Adams - Thanks for reading my stuff. It does not hurt my feelings when you refer to Alan Hanson as the best of the chronologists. I am Alan's number one fan, and as hard as he works, he deserves a much greater title. Unfortunately, he stands by the 1888 sailing date of the Greystokes. No chronologist in the world, including myself, Farmer, Hanson, Harwood, or John F. Roy, can make a continuous smooth flowing chronology starting in 1888 with Tarzan being a human being living on the planet Earth as we know it.

And you, David, are trying to mix fiction and reality in your article Ed's African Journey. It does not work. ERB, the author from Chicago, has never been to Africa. The ERB in The  Eternal Lover is not our favorite author from Chicago. He is instead the great-nephew of John Carter and is from the state of Virginia.
