"Apache Devil" is a Western adventure novel written by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Set in the American Southwest during the late 19th century, the story follows the protagonist, Shoz-Dijiji (also known as John Mackenzie), a young Apache warrior seeking revenge against the people who destroyed his village and killed his family. As Shoz-Dijiji embarks on his quest for vengeance, he encounters various challenges and adversaries, including outlaws, rival Native American tribes, and corrupt officials. The novel explores themes of justice, honor, and the clash of cultures as Shoz-Dijiji navigates the treacherous landscape of the Wild West. With its vivid descriptions of the American frontier and its characters' struggles against both external and internal conflicts, "Apache Devil" offers an action-packed and thrilling narrative. Burroughs's storytelling skillfully combines elements of adventure, romance, and exploration, capturing the spirit of the Old West.
Edgar Rice Burroughs
Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) is the creator of Tarzan, one of the most popular fictional characters of all time, and John Carter, hero of the Barsoom science fiction series. Burroughs was a prolific author, writing almost 70 books before his death in 1950, and was one of the first authors to popularize a character across multiple media, as he did with Tarzan’s appearance in comic strips, movies, and merchandise. Residing in Hawaii at the time of the attack on Pearl Harbour in 1941, Burroughs was drawn into the Second World War and became one of the oldest war correspondents at the time. Edgar Rice Burroughs’s popularity continues to be memorialized through the community of Tarzana, California, which is named after the ranch he owned in the area, and through the Burrough crater on Mars, which was named in his honour.
