Hi all,

I know I've heard of this guy but I cannot remember who he is. I had an older patron come in and ask me about a particular author who is from Germany and wrote American westerns in the 1940's or earlier. The thing is, he wrote under at least four different pseudonyms and his own German name. Can anyone place this author and his names?

Thanks in advance,

Tessa

Just want to make sure you're not thinking of
Frederick (Schiller) Faust (a very German sounding
name but American born)--also known as Max Brand,
David Manning, Evan Evans, Frank Austin, Peter Henry
Morland, Peter Dawson, Walter C. Butler, George
Challis, Frederick Frost, and John Frederick. (Source:
Gale Literary Database).
