About the author

Born Olivier Gloux in Paris on September 13, 1818, Gustave Aimard became one of France’s best-known writers of popular adventure fiction. As a young man, he went to sea and briefly served in the French Navy—experiences that helped shape his later stories of travel, danger, and exploration.

After returning to France, Aimard began writing under the name Gustave Aimard. His novels drew heavily on Latin America, Mexico, and the American frontier, and many first appeared in serialized form in French newspapers. Works such as Les Trappeurs de l’Arkansas, Le Grand Chef des Aneas, and Les Pirates de la Prairie were widely translated.

Aimard died in Paris on June 20, 1883. His adventurous novels helped establish the nineteenth-century French Western and influenced the popular image of the American frontier for readers in Europe.
