About the author
Born Frederick Schiller Faust in Seattle, Washington, on May 29, 1892, he became famous under the pen name Max Brand. He wrote at an astonishing rate across Westerns, adventure stories, and screenplays, and his fiction appeared widely in popular magazines as well as in books.
Brand is especially remembered for giving Western fiction a larger-than-life feel. His stories often blended frontier action with romance, danger, and memorable outlaw or drifter figures, helping make him one of the most successful pulp-era authors of his time.
He also wrote under several other names, including George Owen Baxter and Evan Evans. During World War II, he worked as a war correspondent and was killed in Italy on May 12, 1944.
