About the author
Born Frederick Schiller Faust in 1892, he became best known by the pen name Max Brand and built a huge readership with Western novels and short stories. Reliable reference sources describe him as an American writer especially known for Western fiction, though he also wrote in other popular genres and used several pseudonyms during his career.
His work was remarkable for both its pace and its reach. In addition to famous Western titles such as Destry Rides Again, he is also remembered for creating Dr. Kildare, a character that became popular far beyond the pulps where he first appeared.
Faust died in 1944 while working as a war correspondent in Italy. Even so, the name Max Brand has lasted far longer than the pulp era itself, thanks to vivid storytelling, memorable heroes, and an output large enough to keep generations of adventure readers busy.
