In works by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Ray Bradbury and CS Lewis, Mars is humanly habitable. One novel and one short story by Lewis are set on different versions of Mars.
In Larry Niven's Known Space future history, a human protector diverts an ice asteroid onto a collision course with Mars and thus exterminates the Martians although some of their species still survive in the Map of Mars in the Ringworld.
In Anderson's Psychotechnic History, there are native Martians. In his Technic History, there are extra-solar colonists of Mars. In his The Fleet Of Stars, there are human colonists of Mars. In his The Winter Of The World, interplanetary travel has ceased but Mars is green, indicating that it has been terraformed and has now become humanly habitable.

Kaor, Paul!
THE WAR OF TWO WORLDS was Anderson's reply to Wells' WAR OF THE WORLDS, with Martians in both stories at war with mankind. With me believing Anderson's effort the better story.
Readers see an elderly Duke of Mars in A KNIGHT OF GHOSTS AND SHADOWS.
Stirling's IN THE COURTS OF THE CRIMSON KINGS was his homage to ERB's Barsoom stories. With Anderson cameoing in the Prologue.
