openIn early 1936, two admirers of R. I. Howard's work - the writer and publisher P. S. Miller and chemist D. D. Clark - based on already published stories about Conan, they wrote an alleged biography of the great warrior and compiled a map of the world where the events described took place. Miller sent Howard a letter, to which he attached an invented map and biography of Conan. R. I. Howard wrote a response letter three months before his tragic death.
