| Abstract | Discusses the life and fiction of Karl May, who wrote idealized (and historically inaccurate) versions of life in America's Wild West. Although he insisted he himself had lived in America and that the adventures he wrote about were from first-hand knowledge, May did not visit the United States until just a few years before his death, and did not travel farther west than Buffalo, New York. Article also mentions Nazi and East German attitudes toward May, Germany's Wild West clubs, and the Karl May festivals. |
