"Other" "Martian Chronicles" stories

Post by Bob Ingrah » Tue, 23 Sep 1997 04:00:00



I recall reading in the past three Ray Bradbury stories set on Mars or
dealing with emigration to Mars.

In one, a Martian falls in love with an earth woman. In another, Mars has
been populated by Afro-Americans who are facing an influx of White
Americans from a dying earth. In a third, the Afro-Americans in a small
community have chosen to emigrate to Mars en masse to the great agitation
of the white population, which has become used to using them for cheap
labour.

I would love to see a complete edition of the "The Martian Chronicles"
which included these stories (and others?). In the absence of such a
book, can anyone tell me the titles of these stories, and where they
might be found?

The original book was entitled "The Silver Locusts" - the third story line
you mention is certainly included, together with various others.

Hope this helps
