Tarzan of the Apes is one of the Gutenberg offerings I think. I know I downloaded it free from B&N, though I’d read it in an earlier ebook form for Palm OS.
Tarzan is from the 30’s & 40’s. In some areas of the world then, there were dirt tracks that were roads. His folks lived in the early 1900’s probably. There were few cars then and certainly none in the rest of the world.
Sounds like a bunch of our Congressional losers in the US. :p
