John Carter states that he has no memory before the age of 30 and has always appeared the same, without aging. He also leaves Burroughs with the manuscript of A Princess of Mars, with instructions not to publish it for another 21 years. He apparently dies again in 1886, leaving instructions for a fictionalized Burroughs, who refers to Carter as his Uncle Jack, to entomb him in a crypt. During his nine years on that planet he effectively disappears from Earth and is believed dead, but he re-emerges in New York in 1876, settling in a house overlooking the Hudson River. After various adventures, including an attack by Apaches, he is miraculously transported to Mars. At the end of the war he goes prospecting for gold in Arizona.

CREATURES OF BARSOOM CODE

In a desperate attempt to save the planet's inhabitants, Carter uses a secret telepathic code to enter the factory, bringing an engineer along who can restore its functionality. However, the sudden breakdown of the Atmosphere Plant that sustains the planet's waning air supply endangers all life on Barsoom. Winning Dejah Thoris' heart, he becomes Prince of Helium, and the two live happily together for nine years. Subsequently, Carter becomes embroiled in the political affairs of both the red and green Martians in his efforts to safeguard Dejah Thoris, eventually leading a horde of Tharks against the city-state of Zodanga, the historic enemy of Helium. Carter rescues Dejah Thoris from the green men in a bid to return her to her people. The red Martians inhabit a loose network of city-states and control the desert planet's canals, along which its agriculture is concentrated. The Tharks subsequently capture Dejah Thoris, Princess of Helium, a member of the humanoid red Martian race. Thanks to his strength and martial prowess, Carter rises to a high position in the tribe and earns the respect and eventually the friendship of Tars Tarkas, one of the Thark chiefs. He soon falls in with a nomadic tribe of Green Martians, or Tharks, as the planet's warlike, six-limbed, green-skinned inhabitants are known. Carter finds that he has great strength and superhuman agility in this new environment as a result of its lesser gravity and lower atmospheric pressure. While attempting to evade pursuit by hiding in a sacred cave, he is mysteriously transported to Mars, called ' Barsoom' by its inhabitants. Having struck a rich vein of gold, he runs afoul of the Apaches. John Carter, a Confederate veteran of the American Civil War, goes prospecting in Arizona immediately after the war's end.
