Biography

German writer who was very popular within the fiction genre and Hitler's favorite author. He was fascinated with stories and legends about cowboys, American Indians, the Old West as well as with tales from the Orient. His books are primarily products of his rich imagination as he did not travel to the US until he was age 66. That year, 1908, he and his wife visited the northern portion of New York state, seeing Buffalo, Albany and Niagara Falls.

May died on 3/30/1912, Radebeul, Germany.
