AbstractSchnitzler's article discusses the imagery of the United States and "the West" in Sealsfield's works, advocates the interpretation of his writing as German-American, not American, and warns against overestimating the importance of America for Postl. It also maps out extensively Postl's heritage and the relationship between the man and his pseudonym.
