Book Description

Durham, North Carolina, U.S.A.: Duke Univ Pr, 2005. Soft Cover. New/No Jacket. Photographs and Drawings. First edition? Imagine scholar Matt Cohen's surprise when, on a visit to his grandmother's Nebraska home, he discovered a collection of hundreds of letters, photographs, telegrams, postcards, and drawings saved by his great-grandfather Herbert T. Weston. They document a nearly fifty-year friendship between Weston and one of America's most popular authors, Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs. Since Weston kept carbon copies of his own letters, the material comprises a record of a lilfelong friendship that had begun in the 1890s, when the two men met in military school. In these letters, Burroughs and Weston discuss their experiences of family, work, war, disease and health, sports, and new technology over a time period spanning two World Wars, the Great Depression, and wide political change. The correspondence trace a fascinatingly interwoven emotional and business relationship that evolved as the two men and their wives engaged in joint capital ventures, traveled, and navigated the difficult waters of child-rearing, divorce, and aging. This volume includes images never before published, and a critical introduction. 310 pages including notes and index. At the bottom right corner the pages have some discoloration, as though the edge was sticking out on something dusty. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
