About the Book

This is an annotated version of the book1.contains an updated biography of the author at the end of the book for a better understanding of the text.2.This book has been checked and corrected for spelling errorsI am a very old man; how old I do not know. Possibly I am a hundred, possibly more; but I cannot tell because I have never aged as othermen, nor do I remember any childhood. So far as I can recollect I havealways been a man, a man of about thirty. I appear today as I didforty years and more ago, and yet I feel that I cannot go on livingforever; that some day I shall die the real death from which there isno resurrection. I do not know why I should fear death, I who havedied twice and am still alive; but yet I have the same horror of it asyou who have never died, and it is because of this terror of death, Ibelieve, that I am so convinced of my mortality.And because of this conviction I have determined to write down thestory of the interesting periods of my life and of my death. I cannotexplain the phenomena; I can only set down here in the words of anordinary soldier of fortune a chronicle of the strange events thatbefell me during the ten years that my dead body lay undiscovered in anArizona cave.I have never told this story, nor shall mortal man see this manuscriptuntil after I have passed over for eternity. I know that the averagehuman mind will not believe what it cannot grasp, and so I do notpurpose being pilloried by the public, the pulpit, and the press, andheld up as a colossal liar when I am but telling the simple truthswhich some day science will substantiate. Possibly the suggestionswhich I gained upon Mars, and the knowledge which I can set down inthis chronicle, will aid in an earlier understanding of the mysteriesof our sister planet; mysteries to you, but no longer mysteries to me.My name is John Carter; I am better known as Captain Jack Carter ofVirginia. At the close of the Civil War I found myself possessed ofseveral hundred thousand dollars (Confederate) and a captain'scommission in the cavalry arm of an army which no longer existed; theservant of a state which had vanished with the hopes of the South.Masterless, penniless, and with my only means of livelihood, fighting, gone, I determined to work my way to the southwest and attempt toretrieve my fallen fortunes in a search for gold.I spent nearly a year prospecting in company with another Confederateofficer, Captain James K. Powell of Richmond. We were extremelyfortunate, for late in the winter of 1865, after many hardships andprivations, we located the most remarkable gold-bearing quartz veinthat our wildest dreams had ever pictured. Powell, who was a miningengineer by education, stated that we had uncovered over a milliondollars worth of ore in a trifle over three months.As our equipment was crude in the extreme we decided that one of usmust return to civilization, purchase the necessary machinery andreturn with a sufficient force of men properly to work the mine.As Powell was familiar with the country, as well as with the mechanicalrequirements of mining we determined that it would be best for him tomake the trip. It was agreed that I was to hold down our claim againstthe remote possibility of its being jumped by some wandering prospector.On March 3, 1866, Powell and I packed his provisions on two of ourburros, and bidding me good-bye he mounted his horse, and started downthe mountainside toward the valley, across which led the first stage ofhis journey.
