Description
"For nearly a century, Karl May, the most-read German author of all time, enflamed the imagination of European audiences with his action-packed "travel" fiction of the American West.". "Translated from German by Herbert Windolf, this volume continues the exploits of Old Shatterhand, an incomparable German-born frontiersman, his noble Apache blood brother, Chief Winnetou, and their frontier friends. The story is set in the late 1860s in Old Arizona where danger abounds and where survival is dependent on having the fastest draw and the sharpest wits. Ruthless villains, Indian tribes on the warpath, and a naive band of German immigrants all figure into this engaging Teutonic saga of the Wild West." "Karl May's beloved novels have shaped a uniquely European version of the post-Civil War American West and have been adapted for the stage, movies, and even comic books."--BOOK JACKET.

First Sentence
IF, IN 1868, you traveled the old route from El Paso del Norte across the Colorado River to California, you would likely pass the ancient mission of San Xavier del Bac before reaching Tucson.
