About the author

Very little widely available biographical information could be confirmed for this author from reliable sources consulted here. What can be confirmed is that Project Gutenberg lists Gustav Hildebrand as the author of three German works: Herr, mach' uns frei!, Rund um den Kreuzturm: Roman aus den Dresdner Maitagen von 1849, and Siebeneichen: Roman aus dem Alt-Meißner Land.

Those titles suggest a writer drawn to Saxon settings and history, especially Dresden and the Meissen region. Based on the available records, he appears to be remembered mainly through these novels rather than through a well-documented public biography, so it is best to treat further personal details with caution unless stronger sources are found.
