About the author
Born Frederick Schiller Faust in Seattle on May 29, 1892, he became famous under the pen name Max Brand and built a remarkable career as an American novelist, short-story writer, and screenwriter. He is remembered especially for Western fiction, but he wrote across several popular genres and published under multiple pseudonyms.
His output was enormous, and that steady stream of magazine fiction helped make him one of the standout names of the pulp era. Alongside his Western stories, he created the character Dr. James Kildare, whose life continued in later films, radio, and television adaptations.
Faust died in Italy on May 12, 1944, while working as a war correspondent during World War II. Even so, the name Max Brand has lasted, thanks to adventurous storytelling, memorable heroes, and a body of work that kept readers turning pages for decades.
