Acerca del autor

Frederick Schiller Faust, better known by his pseudonym Max Brand, was an American author famed for his classic westerns, adventures, and the creation of the renowned character of Dr. Kildare. Born on May 29, 1892, in Seattle, Washington, Faust showcased an early predilection for literature and storytelling. Max Brand became his most used and recognized nom de plume among others, under which he penned over 500 novels including 'The Mountain Fugitive'. His narratives are characterized by their brisk pace, simplicity in style, and depiction of the rugged landscape of the American West, which vividly brought to life the chaotic and lawless frontier period. Faust's capacity to create engrossing and emotionally compelling tales earned him a reputation as one of the most prolific writers of his time. 'The Mountain Fugitive' is a testament to his ability to weave suspense and moral complexity into a tale of survival and justice in the wild terrains. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Brand's work conveyed an undercurrent of psychological insight and social critique, making his stories resonate with readers beyond mere entertainment. Despite passing away at the young age of 51 on May 12, 1944, during World War II, Faust left behind an indelible mark on Western literature, influencing many future writers in the genre. Posthumously, his legacy has been kept alive through continual reprints and adaptations of his work for film and television.
