Edgar Rice Burroughs, a native of the United States, wrote a brief contemporary mystery called The Oakdale Affair. The Mucker (1914-1916) is a partial sequel to Bridge and the Oskaloosa Kid, which was written in 1917 under the working title of the same title. In 1919, it was made into a silent movie starring Evelyn Greeley. In the earlier piece, Bridge, the protagonist, was a supporting figure. In March 1918, Blue Book Magazine published it for the first time. In The Oakdale Affair and The Rider, published by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. in February 1937 and then reprinted by Grosset & Dunlap in 1937, 1938, and 1940, it was first published alongside the unrelated story "The Rider". The novella was initially published independently as a paperback by Ace Books in July 1974. Later hardback copies were published by Ameron and Buccaneer (1977); a later paperback edition was published by Charter (1979). The last 174 lines of the magazine version's original ending are left out of the majority of versions, although the Buccaneer and Charter editions include it again. A robber steals the daughter of bank president Jonas Prim, Abigail's possessions, as well as the clothing of a servant, from Prim's residence in Oakdale.

Autorenporträt
Edgar Rice Burroughs was an American author most recognized for his prolific work in adventure, science fiction, and fantasy genres. He is best known for conceiving the characters Tarzan and John Carter, as well as writing the Pellucidar, Amtor, and Caspak trilogies. Tarzan's popularity grew quickly, and Burroughs took use of it in every way possible, including a syndicated Tarzan comic strip, films, and souvenirs. Tarzan is still one of the most popular fictional characters and a cultural symbol. Burroughs' California ranch is now the hub of the Tarzana neighborhood in Los Angeles, which is named for the character. Burroughs was an outspoken supporter of eugenics and scientific racism in both his fiction and nonfiction; Tarzan was intended to embody these ideas. Burroughs was born on September 1, 1875, in Chicago (he later spent many years in the Oak Park suburb), the fourth son of Major George Tyler Burroughs, a businessman and Civil War veteran, and his wife, Mary Evaline (Zieger) Burroughs. His middle name comes from his paternal grandmother, Mary Coleman Rice Burroughs. Burroughs was almost entirely of English heritage, with a family line in North America dating back to the Colonial era. Burroughs was derived from settler Edmund Rice, an English Puritan who migrated to Massachusetts Bay Colony in the early 17th century, via his Rice grandmother. He once said, "I can trace my ancestry back to Deacon Edmund Rice."
