"Tarzan Timeline" Topic

Is PDF link a reasonably accurate timeline for Tarzan during the 24 books that are (at least in my eyes) clearly canonical?

Born 1888

1888-1907 Jungle Life

1909-1910 Tarzan Finally weds Jane

1911 Charlotte Clayton born

1913 Korak/The Son of Tarzan

… yada-yada-yada

1933 Tarzan's Quest (Immortality at age 45?)

1944 the Last "Tarzan canon" entry I feel good about including.

Okay, not feeling bound to this timeline outside of Tarzan and there is a lot of "Non-Canon Tarzan" (as in not ERB canon about Tarzan) stuff to ignore.

Before and After I am not so much worried about.

Neither do I really have any interest in trying to tie Tarzan, Carson of Venus, John Carter, and the "Moon" books into one timeline.

That helps my Space 1889 campaign. Thanks.

Philip José Farmer (cited in the PDF) put a lot of thought into his Tarzan biography. Burroughs himself didn't seem to be too motivated by world-building or internal consistency. So, the Farmer chronology is probably still the best.

Coelacanth,

Thanks. I was surprised (not sure why) how many "Tarzan Timeline" hits failed to have (an easily discernible) timeline included.

I will just take this and edit out the non-Tarzan stuff, (not a Philip José Farmer fan at all,) then will adopt things to my alt-timeline for my games.

When you try to do things like this for a prolific author who never bothered for 100% internal consistency you complicated/complex timelines the author probably never gave a thought to… Since I will have Tarzan having an estate on Venus in my games I figure the other story lines interacting won't matter.
