sought-after ! 1860 Western The Oil Prince by Karl May

Karl May's works have shaped a uniquely European version of the post-Civil war American West. Rarely out of print since the late 1890s, his beloved novels are a true phenomenon in Europe and have been adapted for the stage, movies, and comic books. Translated from German by Herbert Windolf, this action-packed "travel" tale is set in the late 1860s in Old Arizona where danger abounds and survival is dependent on having the fastest draw and the sharpest wits. In The Oil Prince May created another multicultural adventure full of excitement, villainy, and courage--sprinkled throughout with a Germanic twinkle of comic relief.
