The legend of Tarzan. Was he a real person?
I read a book many years ago that claimed Tarzan was based on
a real person. Of course I knew he could not have lived with apes. I suggested
that they may have been Big Foot which are humans.
I now believe the legend of Tarzan is fiction.
We do know that the author Edgar Rice Burroughs founded the
city of Tarzana. And he was in the Cavalry
under Custer but left before they were slaughtered by Sitting Bull, the trigger
fingers of the soldiers were made into neckless worn by Sitting Bull which is
in the Ripley Museum in San Francisco.
Here is what we know. There really was an English Baron of
Greystoke or Greystoke and Disney and others made films based on Edgar Rice
Burroughs books: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/films/legend-of-tarzan/who-was-the-real-tarzan/
