Question

I 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 other men, nor do I remember any childhood. So far as I can recollect I
have always been a man, a man of about thirty. I appear today as I did forty years and more ago, and
yet I feel that I cannot go on living forever, that some day I shall die the real death from which there is
no resurrection. I do not know why should fear death, I who have died twice and am still alive; but
yet I have the same horror of it as you who have never died, and it is because of this terror of death,
I believe, that I am so convinced of my mortality. And because of this conviction I have determined
to write down the story of the interesting periods of my life and of my death. I cannot explain the
phenomena; I can only set down here in the words of an ordinary soldier of fortune a chronicle of the
strange events that befell me during the ten years that my dead body lay undiscovered in an Arizona
cave. My name is John Carter; I am better known as Captain Jack Carter of Virginia. At the close
of the Civil War I found myself possessed of several hundred thousand dollars (Confederate) and a
captain's commission in the cavalry arm of an army which no longer existed; the servant of a state
(Edgar Rice Burroughs)
which had vanished with the hopes of the South. (a) the narrator cannot tell his age because _______​
