Join us at our FREE Discover the History<\/em> lecture series where this month the topic is Tarzan and the Santa Monica Connection.<\/span><\/p>

This lecture includes a book signing by author Scott Tracy Griffin.<\/p>

Tarzan of the Apes<\/em>\u00a0(1914), by author Edgar Rice Burroughs, launched a phenomenon, with the ape man swinging from literature into film, radio, television, merchandising, and other media, to become a 20th\u00a0Century pop-culture presence. Flush with success, Burroughs established Tarzana Ranch in 1919, which was later incorporated as Santa Monica\u2019s neighbor to the north.<\/p>

Scott Tracy Griffin will examine the numerous connections between the novelist Burroughs, the character Tarzan, and the City of Santa Monica on the centennial of the first Tarzan book publication.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t
