| abstract | - John Carter was from Virginia and was a captain in the Confederate Armed Forces. After the war, his money and officer's commission was useless, so he set out to rebuild his life as a prospector in Arizona. He was chased by hostile Arizona natives into a lonely cave, where he was mysteriously transferred to the dying red planet of Barsoom, a fictionalized version of planet Mars. Barsoom is home to a myriad of different races of Martian, including the race to which Carter's wife Dejah Thoris belongs, as well as the green skinned, four armed race of which Tars Tarkas is a representative. After aiding Helium in its battle against its ancient enemies in the city of Zodanga, Carter returned to Earth against his will. By the time he returned to Barsoom, Deja Thoris had given birth to his son, Carthoris. He then led the armies of Helium and Zodanga against Issus, and the "First Born" of Barsoom, in order to save his wife.
